Was looking at those a while ago, a good idea really, better so if you can charge each day whilst at work..
Two and you could run your fridge and tv and swap over each day.
How much you pay?

£129.
I have the inverter on from 8am to 11pm anyway, and 700 watts of solar covers everything in the summer. Even today I maxed 13 amps for a couple of hours. Generator from 5pm till 8pm sees the charge down to about 1.8ish, so am thinking the power station will save some of the batteries in the evening.

At the place that sold me my Li cells, the same battery (75Ah at 3.2v) would be $150 which is about £110, so for £19 you are getting the electronics, connectors, box etc |

(Capitalist that I am 😂). Think I’ll email the supplier tomorrow and get some info. They’ve brought out a new model now as well, a little more expensive, but better equipped evidently. |

I bought a similar item made by Fox Halo. Basically a 96ah@@3.2v LiFePo4 battery bank so quite similar. 307.2Wh so a bit more capacity. About 25ah at 12v nominal. It's got two USB outs, a 13A cigar lighter socket out, a USB type C input and it's own 240v charger with a 2.1mm input. Slightly more expensive it was £200. They also do one half the size for around £130. It's a nicely made item easy to carry and has a torch plus an orange light. It's mainly aimed at anglers. Good product I use it a lot as a backup power supply. This item www.ebay.co.uk/itm/Fox-Halo-96K-Power-Pack-/363252453875 |

It's interesting to see some of these new backup devices popping up.

The only thing I find a bit annoying is they arrr slow charging.
A true pirate would have one he could plug in at the pub and fast charge in an hour or so.
I suppose a 20ah LFP 12v battery and a 20a charger boxed up would be the thing. Perhaps in a rucksack so as to be nice and subtle.

The other week in "the middle isle" - I spotted an inspection camera... having no immediate need for one, I bought it! So far, I've looked inside my own ear and taken photos of the bcc on my scrotum for the doc. I think the "boaty need" for it might be checking battery levels without removing them!  |
