I've heard that if you don't open the freezer for something like 3 days the contents should stay good. However, that probably also depends on how hot it is outside. If it's crazy hot out, then it might be more like 1 day. I would pray about it.
Also, if you have a south facing window or access to outside you might want to look into getting a small solar charger (50-100 watt?) and maybe something like a jackery battery as well. I got a 200 watt one a few years ago, wish I'd have gotten something like a 600 watt instead. But, at least I can run a fan or a light and charge my phone and also an LED lantern that will charge by USB. The solar charger I have has a couple USB plugs.
Thank you for the info.
I'm having trouble thinking of what I'd use the solar panel to charge. Phone, well, if the power grid goes out, there will be no cellular signal right?
Possibly, but I don't think power will go out everywhere, though I could be wrong. I guess I'd suggest to pray and the holy spirit can give you personal guidance or suggestions.
use it to keep your freezer cold
Wouldn't you need a huge battery and high wattage solar panel system to run a freezer for a week?
Edit: I asked Grok. Here is it's answer:
Given these considerations, here's what you might look for:
6 x 300W solar panels for generation.
Battery bank capable of storing 8-9 kWh, which might translate to something like 400Ah at 24V or equivalent in a 48V system for better efficiency.
1000-1500W inverter for power conversion.
MPPT charge controller to handle the power from the panels efficiently.
I can't do that in an apartment unfortunately.
Once it's down to temperature you can just run it while the sun is out (so the battery is not needed), to keep it cold enough that your meat doesn't spoil
