It's a well put together battery pack with charger.
There are many units of the same type. Some use lithium batteries (light), others use deep cycle batteries (heavy).

Immense Capacity:The Portable Power Station Explorer 2000 offers gigantic charging capacity at 2,160Wh,
First-rate Fast AC Charging:Fully charged in only under 2 hours and in an incredible 2 hours via AC wall outlet.
Exceptional Safety:Safety has been taken to an all new level with the quality lithium battery.
Content Includes:1* User Manual, 1*AC Charge Cable, 1* Car Charge Cable, 1*Jackery Explorer 2000 PRO Portable Power Station.

I have a DIY deep cycle with 2 solar panels mainly to deal with short term power outages so I could work from home w/out interruption.
So it's a heavy unit that doesn't fold into a neat little package. But I could easily put it in the back of my truck.
It's enough to power internet, wifi, tv, laptop and it'll go flat in about 6-8 hours w/out the solar panels.
With judicial use of lights, fan it'll probably give you 24 hour service.

So decide what you need it for and size it accordingly.
I saw 1 youtuber had built 1 into his bicycle camping trailer.

Pretty Cool, Versy! Not surprised you would build your own. I wonder how a guy could lay hands on enough lithium batteries to build a small, not too heavy one.
I have a small generator that is Pretty quiet, but if you're camping, mehh, it's still noise and others just Might not appreciate it. But if I had a power pack I could recharge it during active hours and enjoy having power after dark.
I'm just dreaming about a future that may not happen, I know. But the back is really coming around, so riding is looking like a real possibility and I might get able to go camping and fishing and all that stuff.

How do you turn your DC into AC?
Inverters are not crazy money at all. If a guy had a fat 12 volt source and hooked this to it, it would run a fan and some LEDs for a good long time, I'm thinking.

Wow! This could blow up in my face,, it's The longest string of crap I ever put between brackets
Okay, the top link works, the bottom, notsomuch..
I'm afraid to try to get rid of it because when I hit modify I am not sure what to erase.

So not sure what you were trying to do. But if it was to provide the text of the 1st one, you don't need the brackets.

Like I said, I got a deep cycle battery. I don't trust liFo's just yet and don't want to have a flaming pile of crap where I absolutely needed something to work.

When I'm trying to get an address in here I start by just copying and pasting. If, when I paste it, it looks too long for the blue line to underline the whole thing, I just go back up and hit one of the two options, one does pictures, the other does text? That is what I think, phht, best I can do. So I took a shot. Sometimes I nail it on the first try,, sometimes..

So, what do you think about that little inverter? How do you get your twelve volts turned into AC?

Mine is a 2000 watt inverter. that was 400 watts. I immediately don't know if they rate the input or output, I would guess output. 400/120 is not very much amps so you'll be limited to light weight devices, phone chargers and the like.

They can do a lot with a/c, not much with d/c.
I'd 1st convert it to a/c, they simply switch d/c off then invert polarity to get a square wave a/c. Then they can use a step transformer to get any voltage they want. A few filters here and there and you got sine wave a/c. They probably do it all with computers now but I'm old school and that's the way I would do it.
