Hi folks, I would like to expand our earthquake kit with a little electricity for devices and maybe flashlight battery charging.
Jackery and the like are a pricy option, but I am not looking to power my campground. What about automotive booster packs?
Some booster packs come with one or more USB plugs, and have a DC in for solar recharging. Even better, some of them can be easily found on Craigslist!
Is this a crackpot idea?
Is this an 80/20, where I can get 80% of the value of a Jackery for 20% of the cost?
If this is not a crackpot idea, what sort of booster pack specs should I look for? I am not sure how to compare battery specs and run times.
Thank you!
