Tailgate Power Help

[RU4Real]

Okay, somebody has to know this.

Last year in the Yellow lot an adjacent tailgate was powering a kick-ass sound system with a brand-name A/C inverter unit (two of them, actually) with built-in battery. I thought the guy told me he got them at Home Depot, but I've looked on their website and find nothing that fits the description.

Disclaimers:

Do NOT respond with what kind of generator I should buy. I know all about them, I don't want / need one. All I'm looking to power is a TV and possibly some LED lights for night games.

Do NOT write a treatise on how I can connect deep-cycle marine batteries, blah blah blah. I don't want that, either. I want what this guy had - pre-packaged solution, built-in A/C and USB outlets, plug it into the wall to charge it.

TIA

I'm guessing it was something along this line:

Flat screen tvs draw around 40w and led lights would be minimal so the 100w is probably ok but I'd keep looking for something with a little higher capacity. Search for 120 volt power packs.

It was something like that.

The thing that's tripping me up (because I've found similar to what you linked) is that the thing this guy had didn't have jumper cables and a compressor. I don't want those, either.

I like that one. Seems pretty versitle. Other option I found on Amazon. Basic, 5 outlets, pretty large capacity 51Ahr.
