I'll salvage as many of them as I can and have a virtually unlimited supply of energy. With all the abandoned cars around, tons of batteries to store that power.
I am thinking I will keep a second battery on the panel so I have 12 volt lighting during power outages or Zombie outbreaks at the power plant.
