What a can of worms!

I like the Noco line of products and I have them in my BMW and F250.

The GB50 will start a gas engine up to 7 liters and a Diesel engine up to 5 liters (12VDC). It also has a 2.1A capable USB outlet. It is charged by a standard 2.1A USB cord and takes a while to charge. It does not lose charge (1% per month?) so keep it in the vehicle and charge every 6 months.

If you want something to "invert" power for 120VAC, there are options. BUT BUT BUT, make sure you know what you are getting. MSW (Modified Sine Wave) is tolerated by most electronics, because they are converted to DC before use. But motors do not like MSW. Pure Sine Wave inverters are MUCH more expensive.

We Build Backup Solutions, including the whole business and whole house. Even our "Tiny" solutions can be $5K, but they include Inverters, Batteries, Solar Panels, Generator and the protective systems.
