Instead of a battery clock, I would recommend the old fashioned wind up kind. I have lived off the grid for several years and can verify that what the author says in this article is fairly accurate. Don't forget to change your lightbulbs also, that is another small, low cost way to save alot on your utility bill.
The web site is a great addition to the magazine......THANKS!This is to change my e-mail address from my previous subscription.
We were keeping track of our daily kwh and we were using about 100 per day. When we shut off the power strips on our TV, VCR, Dish Box , Microwave and computer our daily usage dropped to below 50 a day usually about 44. Thanks for the tip.
I am sure that recharging batteries uses less electicity than running a clock 24 7. If you are such a skeptic why do you even bother with reading the articles
Does using a battery powered clock that runs on rechargable batteries REALLY reduce the amount of electicity? Isn't the draw from the clock much lower than that of the charger?Perhaps using a sun dial is a better option.?.?
