    Lost power years ago, house was 100 degrees. 10 hours later power came back on and freezer was just above freezing and meat was starting to show signs of thaw. Very hard to imagine an incubator that can open that is insulated better than a freezer.
    well in my 60 some degree basement my incubator got unplugged for some reason for 2 days and dropped a whopping 2 degrees over 2 days.

Surely there is a battery backup that would work for this?
    I got an outlet inside my garage that i use to backfeed the house and then just run some flex tubing from the exhaust up to the vent cap on the roof of the garage. no walking off to worry about inside a locked garage.
