Yep, wouldn't need a battery charger, handy to have around, I use mine for lots of different things, I picked up a 12v fuel pump for $7 and use it to transfer fuel from boat tank to cars. Run a air compressor to pump lawn mower or wheel barrel tires. Power goes out can charge phones and the little LED light would probably run for a week.

Closest gas station is 10 miles, kids cars used to pretty much just go to school and back 4 miles each way, and fuel is cheaper where I work. Burn a gallon to go fill them up or fill the boat tank when filling my car and transfer it to my other cars.

Thank one would do it, but pretty expensive.

Another thought if all you really want is 110v, a computer ups. Make sure you get one that you can turn the beeping off.
