MORE POWER, BIG JOHN BIG-BOOTE!

So, I woke up this morning and ended up thinking about what it would take to set up a portable set-up that would let me drive my truck somewhere and be a "community charging station" for people to charge phones/laptops/etc if there were a prolonged outage in this area.

For my own use, I could probably cobble somethign together based off my power boombox, in particular so as to keep my sump pump running in my basement.

I guess ideally I'd want an interver (this model includes a battery charger), at least one deep cycle battery, and a battery isolator for hooking it up to my car or truck without fucking up said vehicle. Assorted wires and connectors.

Not a bad idea. I might end up wanting to set something like that up as a UPS for my sump pump, actually.

addendum

Yeah, I'm reading the sudden flurry of disaster-prep wankery out there on the internet... but...

wait, I can use this device to charge my USB devices and make tea at the same time?

BRILLIANT! WE LIVE IN AN AGE OF WONDERS.
