I got a 100 ah LiFePO4 battery with built in warmer for $380 from PowerUrus. The company got a good review from a knowledgeable YouTuber I watch. The warmer allows me to recharge it in freezing temps. I put it in a battery box with 12 volt and usb ports. Then I mounted a Renogy 700 watt pure sine wave inverter on top of the battery box. I wired it to the battery through a battery selector switch so I can power everything off when I’m not using it. It was extra work to put it all together but I’m happy with the end results. The nearest sized Jackery is a little bigger but I think I saved $900 as I recall. Now I can do 12 volt and usb charging without the overhead of the inverter and I’ve got the inverter when I need A/C.
Plus I wired in a big Anderson plug and put one on the charger cable so it’s easy to hook up and recharge.
