Does anybody have any experience with the Gizzu 518Wh Portable Power Station? I'm thinking of getting one to use during power outages to keep working and also double as power when camping off grid for a night or 2 (coupled with small solar panel)?

The Gizzu Portable Power Station offers power on the go in a compact design. This portable power station is ideal for emergency needs, power outages, camping trips, or whatever else electricity is needed as it allows you to power up small appliances. With three USB ports and a PD port, you can keep your phone, tablet, notebook, and camera charged.
Thanks to the 230V South African plug, two DC ports, and one 12V auxiliary power outlet, you can power your mini-fridge, internet router, lightbulbs, and other small electronics and appliances with ease. This rechargeable battery-powered model features a robust design, built-in LED flashlight, and has three methods of charging, including car charging, solar power charging, and traditional wall charging.
Get off the grid and enjoy the great outdoors while keeping your essential gear powered & charged. With four USB ports including one USB 3.0 Quick Charge port and a PD port, this household essential is ideal in the event of a power outage or load-shedding allowing you to power up devices such as your router, TV, notebook, and other small appliances.

Cornel … dont know the brand though appears
battery is bit on small side 518 Wh, though its
size and weight are probly make lighter & make
it more portable and, as a Li-ion, it probly charges
faster.
If its your first aux battery/Load-Shed stand-by I would
use a battery thats the same as your main car battery,
even if its Pb-Acid.
If a versatile 2nd Aux battery, which Im looking at,
definitely a Li-ion battery … Blue Nova, Hubble etc ? …
