Any suggestions for a portable power supply for airplane camping?
I've been using a Schumacher XP2260W jump starter (picture attached) for a few years. It has a lot of great features besides being able to jump start a car:
__Two 12v cigarette lighter outlets
__5v USB outlet
__200w continuous/400w peak 110v inverter with two 3-prong outlets
__LED work light
__Air compressor for aircraft/car tire or bike tube (Schrader) with lighted pressure gauge
__Separate low pressure air pump for inflating air mattress
__Voltage display when DC or AC is on
__Built-in charger with LED charging indicator (separate extension cord required)
The things I don't like:
__The heavy lead acid battery will need replacement soon. I'd prefer lithium to save weight. I wouldn't charge or discharge it in flight.
__Only one USB outlet, so I plug a car triple USB adapter into one of the cigarette lighter outlets.
__The low pressure inflator is useless because of the flimsy tube that came with it, and there's no storage compartment for that tube. So, for the air mattress, I bring a separate air pump that plugs into a 110v outlet of the jump starter.
