Cheap Solar Storage

This might be cheaper than the car battery approach and it already has all the charging electronics built it.

Divide the Wh by the Ah and you get 3.3 volts. The primary storage is a 3.3V lithium battery. It would take 4 of these to deliver the same storage as a 12V lithium pack with the same Ah rating.

It's somewhat misleading that they list battery capacity at all since most of the loads are at different voltages. The more useful specification to take note of is energy, power * time, which equals 400 Wh. So if you plug in a 100 W lightbulb, you can expect this thing to last no more than 4 hours.

Thumbs down

Wow, the use of mAH to confuse people is getting annoying.

For example a 2000 mAh pack will sustain a 2000 milli amp (2 amp) draw for one hour before dropping to a voltage level that is considered discharged.

This is actually a 120 amp hour battery.

Marketing hocum. Certainly a case of aiming at the uninformed. Good move by the OP to ask about it.

Yeah that is misleading and the thing is big enough that it should have more capacity than that.
