Was searching Amazon for something different and came across this portable power bank. It doesn’t have a to. Of juice, but in a power outage could offer a few hours on a small circulation pump. Figured I’d share:

I have several of the power banks, and several of these Cobalt units. They pair up very nicely.
 
I read something about battery back ups designed for A/C power need to use an inverter to convert their power to D/C for some aquarium pumps, and this inverter uses up most of the power in a matter of minutes. I can't remember where I saw the article, but if the pumps you plan to run are A/C it should not matter and that would work perfect.

There was a brs vid about APC units with inverters vs the ecotech DC backup.

The APC units list power due to the inverter and the exotech which didn't need one was way more efficient.

I coincidentally happened to have watched it this week.
