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 take a while to charge. It does not loose 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.

Thanks red-beard I am not looking for whole house units. I am thinking small reasonably portable temporary power solutions that would last a day or so on their own battery but, could be recharged via multiple power sources if needed for extend periods in an emergency situation. I will look into your recomendations.
