Can you answer namedcal’s question about Generators?:
If i purchase one of those backup power supplies that is used to give a few hours of power for computers in case of a blackout, can I charge it and bring it outdoors (camping trip) and power a television? If the power wattage matters or a specific power supply is needed, please clarify!

Generators Feedback: Those only keep enough charge for a few minutes of power, unless you get a good industrial server type UPS, then it lasts a bit longer.
Generators Feedback: Hosptials use backup power supplies as a portable power supply on their laptop crash or drug carts. that way they can move the cart around the hospital and then if the backup loses power they still have battery power. and they know to charge the backup. As for a TV I doubt you cant get one for that to last long. I would invest in a power inverter for you truck/car. I used a 750 watt inverter to power my refrig. in my box truck. though make shure you dont drain the car battery.
