Dukester-
Good deal!
I edited my post when I realized that I should have added what I did afterwards. Good thing about your Streamlights is I believe most of them offer AC/DC charging holders for the lights.
The other thing I forgot to add was Cordless Phones and now Cell phones.
I had an old family friend that was really screwed after the quake. With no power, his cordless phone wouldn't work, nor his emergency light that was plugged into an outlet. (He was so proud he would always have a bright light ready to go) The light came on when the power went out, as it's suppose to, but by the time this gent got home it had exhausted it's nicad batteries, which were rated for 90 mins runtime.
Afterwards he got set up with a maglight and I added a phone outlet to his trailer for a second regular phone.

I also forgot to mention that I do have a Power Supply to jumpstart auto's. It is made by Vector Manufacturing and it does have a 12v DC Power Port and 1200 peak amps. I always keep this topped of whether it is used or not every couple months I plug it in to an AC Socket and it is topped off. If pushed came to shove I also have my car to use the 12v DC System to charge up my Streamlighs or TigerLight. The Stinger HP XT can be topped off in less then 2.5 hours provided the batt is not completed depleted, if it is it is a full 2.5 hours.
