    Capacity is kinda low for what I’d want, but it depends on what you want to do with it.

    I’m not looking to power much. Cell phone, tablet, fans, lighting for RTT, some other misc items. No plans of fridge or other large powered items. I’ve been keeping an eye on the Jackery 300 series and this seems a bit better I think?

    It’s a regular lead acid AGM battery so the claim of 55ah really equates to about 30ah of usable power. For the same price a Jackery 300 has almost as much usable power (20ah) but will recharge faster, weighs 50lbs less and is half the size.

    looks like this has a bigger battery and a bigger inverter if you need 120v power, but the jackery has usb pd.

    Looks like a great deal. I like that it has terminals on the back which allows one to connect other batteries.

    To put it in perspective, would you rather one hand carry a car battery up your RTT ladder or a gallon of milk? That's the difference in weight and bulk between the two options you mentioned.

    Thank you to all for your input. I’m think that although it financially seems to be a good deal it doesn’t really suit my needs and wants. Appreciate it.
