I was thinking the same thing norm. I just purchased a nice one off of ebay. I has the jump pack for jumping vehicles, the 12v outlet, power guage, built in light, and air pump. Stated good for up to 50hrs of continued use. My father just got one like the one i'm getting, and they already got to use it for a t.v. and light when they lost power over the winter. They had both going for over 4hrs and the pack was still going strong when the power came back. I'm sure i'll use it long before ice in next year though!
Good luck and stay safe. mike
