Why it's on my list

The cheapest entry in the backup internet guide if the yellow batteries are already yours: slide a pack on, plug the Starlink brick or a laptop into the outlet, and the phones charge from USB-C at the same time. With no charged packs left, the same box runs off a 12 V vehicle socket. The battery chart in Option 4 of that guide says how long each pack size lasts.

What it is

Two ways to power it: a DeWalt 20 V pack (225 W total: 200 W at the 120 V AC outlet plus 25 W USB-C PD) or a 12 V vehicle socket through the included DC plug (140 W total: 115 W AC plus USB). 15 W USB-A. Modified sine wave. Low-voltage, thermal, overload and short-circuit protection; shuts down when the pack runs low or gets too hot or cold. DeWalt recommends a 5 Ah or larger pack. Impact-resistant housing with rubber bumpers. Battery not included.
