Motomaster Nautilus Battery Pack, 800 A
Product #11-1592-8 --- has a 28AH battery inside and a 400W power inverter.

To Calculate how long your device will run ..
The unit has a 28 amp/hour cell which operates at 12 volts.
28 amps x 12 volts = 336 watt hours.
Divide 336 by the wattage of your device to determine the approximate runtime.
Remember that devices may not use the same constant power drain depending upon the use of their features.

120 Volt AC Power Specs:
• 320 W -- Continuous output power
• 400 W -- Five minute AC output power
• 600 W -- AC output surge capacity

It will not run a microwave oven or other device which is rated at a power consumption of over 400 watts as the inverter is only rated at 400 watts (600 amp surge). The same is true for an electric blanket, some of which are rated at 360 watts. Apply the same principle to hair dryers, vacuum cleaners, and,

Comment
You are advised not to charge from your car etc or your house AC outlet, and, simutaneously run something. It is possible to have a low watt solar panel plugged in at the same time as you are using the battery pac. This will slow the discharge time and should not harm the battery. Depending on your system setup, leaving a solar panel connected when the sun is not shining may result in a drain on the battery unit.

Avoiding phantom electrical use.
When the charger is plugged in, it will draw power continuously. While it won't draw as much power if the unit is fully charged, it will draw a small amount of power. If you are trying to avoid 'phantom' electrical use, you have two options... Unplug the charger and plug it in only once a week/month - or do what I did and get a timer. I have two of these power-boxes, and I have a digital timer that I use to charge them. I only have them on charge 5 minutes a day, and that is more than enough to top up the battery without the need to trickle charge it all day long. If you have an old timer lying around you can use it at the smallest time interval. It doesn't take much to keep this fully charged.

Solar Panel charging.
If you're just trying to keep it "topped up", a 1 watt panel will do just fine.
If you want to charge it back up after using it, I would get at least the 15 watt panel, it will take at least 20 hours of sunlight from flat (I mean hours between 10 and 4, other times don't really have nearly as much power). Obviously if it still has a charge it'll take less time. A charge controller is recommended for any panel over 6 watts.

Assuming you use them for power outage 1 or 2 times a year, the 1 watt powersport panel will work -- keep in mind it would take over a month to recharge your power pack from full discharge. I would go for a eliminator 15 watt panel on each pack, as it would take 2 to 4 days to recharge from full discharge and I can say for sure the eliminator comes with all hook ups including the one you would use for the ac wall plug charger so you will not need a charge controller as the one in the power pack will work.

All eliminator (solar) panels come with the proper hook ups for direct hook up to your powerbox or any other 12 volt battery here are some examples of average charge times
5.5 watt eliminator panel would take 10 to 15 days
15 watt panel would take 2 to 5 days from a complete discharge
if you only use the p-box only 1 or 2 times a month this would be a great way to charge your p box anywhere without worrying where to plug it in to charge

Battery Longevity.
The battery is not designed to be replacable.
A user has reported that theirs would not hold a charge after 4 years. Optimal use in terms of charging, use while off charging, and temperature protection might extend the longevity while the opposite is also true.

Ability to run a furnace.
If the furnace is powered by propane or natural gas, this electrical backup may be able to power the fan, which could be either 12 volt or 120 volt designed, which is required for the safety switches to enable the lighting of the burner.

Cold Weather Exposure
If left outside, in a car, shed, or tent, in weather cooler than the freezing temperature, the AC plugs may not work when connected as some inverters do not work well at such temperatures.

Protections:
• Low battery alarm
• Low battery shutdown
• High battery voltage shutdown
• Over temperature shutdown
• Overload shutdown

I DO state that this option can be stress reducing for many persons who have more singular or less devastating forms of ill health, including a number of cancers. CFS-ME is defined by a person acquiring any 5 or more of 13 specific acute expressions of chronic illnesses. I obtained this unit after recovery from CFS-ME to provide a basic sense of security against the increasing likelihood of a local electrical power failure. This could be most helpful, particularly in mid-winter, or, in mid-summer.

I had researched a variety of generators, power backups, and power generating devices. Many were costly, heavy or not moveable, or, inadequate for me and others like me. I do not have the money to spend thousands of dollars on such an option. Nor do I want a unit which must be made permanent in location, yet would afford many more benefits by being portable. I do want a resource which can provide me with the power to run some basic survival/convenience devices, yet, does not require the storage of explosive or potentially hazardous fuels. I found these benefits in the above unit.

This is a personal recommendation.
This product I have found to be beneficial.
