Hello Jim, Doug List, As to the Coleman Power Pack; I've had mine for 3 years and I got it at a military exchange in the states. I misspoke when I said Coleman-Igloo. I note that Coleman and Igloo are two different companies with similar products. I know my power pack is a Coleman brand . It comes in a vinyl case and has a transformer for home charging ( Coleman/Igloo also make a home power supply--120VAC to 12VDC, for powering their electric coolers but this isn't the one I spoke about.
Perhaps a camping or video supply company has a similar product. It is a no brain-er to build if you have the time. Radio Shack has rechargeable 6 volt lantern gel cells ($20 ea)which could be wired together and recharged from a 12/13 volt transformer etc. It was nicer to have everything already together in a smaller package via Coleman. If you are going to DIY-- consider using the 6 volt Solar Landscape cells from a home supply store etc. in tandem (series) . They are a bit smaller then the lantern cells...but off hand I don't know the power reserves / tech specs on them. Good Luck and Sorry I don't have any fresher information.
