I took a look around and a lot of comments mentioned to get one that uses ‘LiFePO4 Batteries’, and that seemed like a reasonable requirement.

They’re supposed to have a longer life span, be safer, light weight, and better charge/discharge efficiency which is in line with what I’d be looking for.

Some brands/models that I saw recommended:

  • BLUETTI came up in more recent posts
  • Ecoflow (specifically the RIVER 2) came up a lot
  • Anker was suggested a few times, but the comments weren’t that detailed

edit, added an image of what I’m referring to

    I recently got a Jackery for camping and I like it! Haven’t had it long enough to tell you long term problems, but my initial impressions and first real usage were good. The displays are nice, I didn’t test bluetooth/wifi (seemed like a waste of power), but the solar panel and other charging options all worked well. Build quality was good. I wish I’d splurged to get a bigger model though, the Explorerer 300 Plus didn’t have quite enough juice for all our needs.
