More than 3,200 Pacific Gas & Electric customers lost power earlier this week and officials are blaming an issue with a transformer. 4Patriots LLC officials suggest keeping a fully-charged, portable generator handy to supply power during outages.

Nashville, TN , United States - May 11, 2017 /MarketersMedia/ —
An issue with an electrical transformer caused a blackout on May 7 in San Luis Obispo, California, resulting in more than 3,200 Pacific Gas & Electric business and residential customers losing power, according to the San Luis Obispo Tribune.
Extreme weather is frequently the cause of such outages, but that was apparently not the case this time. Mechanical failures including equipment malfunctions are also often to blame, as well as various animals getting tangled up in wires, and cyber and physical attacks against the electrical grid.
“Sometimes it’s as simple as a minor issue with a transformer and other times it’s more serious and causes blackouts for a day or more,” said Allen Baler, Partner at Nashville, Tenn.-based 4Patriots LLC, a company that provides products that help people become more independent and self-reliant.
“Either way, it can be a major headache for those whose food spoils or who cannot use the electronic devices they depend on for work or communication with loved ones. And considering how often it happens all across the country, homeowners would be well served to have a fully-charged generator ready and waiting in order to restore power in a timely fashion.”
Baler’s company offers the solution: the Patriot Power Generator 1500, a portable solar generator designed to provide electricity for important devices and equipment during a power outage or disaster situation.
It can produce up to 3,000 peak watts of power and comes with an integrated 1,500-watt inverter / 600Wh lithium-iron battery; a 100-watt, commercial grade folding solar panel; and a 25-foot long extension cord.
The Patriot Power Generator 1500 is ideal for people looking for ways to protect themselves and their families from the results of power outages. It weighs only 38 pounds, so it’s small enough to take anywhere and store discreetly, and one can daisy-chain additional solar panels for even more power and faster charging. This generator operates quietly and produces no emissions.
The durable, state-of-the-art, lithium-iron-phosphate battery Patriot Power Generator 1500 is rated for 2,000-plus lifecycles and holds a full battery charge for up to six months. It can be charged by the solar panel, by plugging into a normal 120V AC wall outlet or by a wind turbine.
“People who own the Patriot Power Generator 1500 have the peace of mind that comes from knowing they are prepared for a blackout… even if they never experience one,” Baler said.
Those who purchase the Patriot Power Generator 1500 receive 10 complimentary bonuses, including:
