    After watching "Project Farmer" on You Tube, I purchased a Audew battery pack. I have used it twice so far. Very compact and works very well.

    I bought a halo from QVC. Multipurpose and IMO well worth it. I got mine for a decent price during black Friday sales.
    You may be able to find it elsewhere for less.

    Project Farm guy may have gotten a "bad one" of the Viking--and maybe should have tried another. But in fairness, none of the other brands got that chance. I have not had to use mine for an emergency, but did use it to start my whole house generator w/o its own battery and it worked fine. The instructions state that they must be charged monthly for the warranty to be valid.

    I just bought a Viking 450 on-sale at Harbor Freight.

    Will test it in the next few days to see how well it will run my CPAP for camping and powering my tent light and fan.

    Then I plan to carry it on the Spyder for emergencies.
    Also it appears to be capable of being charged by the bike while riding. That's a plus.

    EDIT: Took it back for a return. The Viking 450 failed to operate correctly. The 12V out terminal failed and caused alarms.
    USB port was almost unusable due to the high insertion pressure needed to engage. IMO very poor quality...
