Ran across this by accident today. Have any of you ever heard of this before? Any thoughts on it? This is sort of a "we provide the box, you provide the battery" thing.

Apparently, you can fit a Group 31 140 AH @ 12 volt battery into the device (box+120 VAC battery charger+DC port+150 or 300 Watt AC inverter?)...
So--How much power (AC and DC--Watts and/or Amp*Hours @ 12 volts) would make this a "successful" product for you?
Before you select the product--What loads do you want to drive? At least they are not putting in an 1,800 Watt AC inverter (way to big for a 140 Amp*Hour 12 volt flooded cell lead acid battery).

Well, right now I have no projects that I'd use this for. I'm just curious what you guys think of something like this. I already have my own DIY power pigs that do the job for what we need. I just thought this was a rather neat way to do a portable power setup while keeping the DIY to a minimum.
