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
