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 was at the 24 Hours of Lemons at HPR this year and we developed a crack in our exhaust manifold at 2am. Tried to weld it using onsite power but kept tripping the breaker. Plugged the 30A MiG in to our Ecoflow and zapped away. Still had 80% juice when done.
