Either he's a friend or he's not.

If he is then you should help him in a limited way.
if he's not then tell him he's on his own.

Also I don't believe that one favor of 2 days on an electric chord is worth the same exact thing, nothing more.
A favor is a favor. He did you one. You owe him one. For the duration, however long taht may be. Within reason of course.
