When the grid goes dark, batteries become gold. In this video, I break down everything preppers need to know about home battery storage for surviving a long-term disaster or societal collapse. From disposable AA and AAA batteries to rechargeable lithium-ion systems, I cover the pros and cons of each and explain how to safely store and maintain them. We’ll also look at battery banks, solar charging setups, and even modern USB-C rechargeable systems that can keep your lights, radios, and essential devices running when everything else fails. Prices on batteries are climbing fast, and after a collapse, they’ll be nearly impossible to find—so stock up now while you can.
