Wow, cool device but holy smokes is it expensive!

That aside, one thing you didn't mention in the article that I find is the #1 most useful thing about having a portable 12V pack with me is the ability to put the fridge in a bear box overnight. Even the best sealed fridge is a danger in bear country. With one of these (or any cheapie AGM jumpbox) you can keep the fridge powered on overnight away from the rig.

Of course it weighs twice as much, so probably not walking it down to the beach.
Hah that is what I was thinking! Probably slightly different intended uses. But, 40Ah in 14lb is really impressive!

That price, ouch. This is exactly what I was looking for, sadly priced well out of my range. Gotta see if I can diy one in my range.
