What to do while you wait
Drop screen brightness, enable low-power mode, and close background apps. Aim for one full charge to last 12+ hours.
Unplug TVs, fridges and ACs to avoid surge damage when power returns. Leave one bulb on so you'll know when it's back.
Avoid opening it. A full freezer stays cold ~48h closed, a fridge ~4h. Fill empty space with frozen water bottles.
