The automotive sections at Target and WalMart here are both carrying a new
line of emergency power devices including selfcontained battery and inverter
that comes with an ac charger. The also have 50, 100, 600 watt power
invertors ac regulated dc supplies. I don't recall the company name, but both
stores here have good size blisterpack wall displays. I think the battery
with invertor was only about $30
