From a friend’s experience with a smaller model, I plunged on a Jackery 1000. I have yet to use it.

I plunged on a Jackery 1000.

A couple of Ham Radio operators I know use them. They're good for field operations. I have two 30-watt panels I have yet to set up for my go-box. I have a lithium iron phosphate battery in my go-box. Works good for my needs. Would like the Jackery or similar to run a computer in the field when the laptop battery runs out.

I got a Jackery 300 and three solar panels just in case I lost power but more so for a bug-out option, and I got all of them for less than $600, but I already have a gasoline generator, so I didn’t need the Jackery 1000, but had I thought about it at the time, the 1000 would have better, both for a bug out (or just for recrational camping, etc) and for emergency home situations, because I could have used to the generator to recharge the Jackery without needing solar and the 1000 is much more likely to power higher wattage tools and appliances.

Best to try it out. Jackery has a very good reputation, but I have read some reviews blaming the shipping company for overheating, and thus damaging, their batteries.
