Yes, you are right. Definitely not a portable unit.
Thanks for considering, though.

I am making a cyberdesk luggable computer. First read, I thought this might work. Then I saw the video -- it might be a little big.. Best of luck.

Everything works. Includes the battery pack, monitor, BMS, inverter, and connections. Selling because I recently installed a whole home back-up generator and don’t need this anymore for what I do. I used this in my garage with a PV system to run a refrigerator, music, and some lights; and, during power outages to run my home internet and kitchen refrigerator. In the battery pack are eight CALB Prismatic LiFePo4 3.2V (nominal) cells. The older ones are about five years old. The newest one is from March 2024 (replaced one of the old ones that gotten weak). The cells were originally rated for 180 amp-hours, but I have no idea what they are now. I don’t charge it to maximum voltage, nor discharge it to minimum. After Hurricane Beryl, it kept my internet modem/router and computer stuff going for three days and still had power to go. The inverter is a Giandel, rated at 3000W continuous and 6000W surge. It’s strong enough to run some light power tools, but I don’t think I would want to run something with very heavy inductive loads like a table saw. It will definitely run drill motors, and angle grinder, and such as that. And, yes, it will run ham radio if you feed your bench power supply or use a step-down converter directly from the battery.
