Recommend Me a Power Bank for a TV

[lost in espace]

I run a small running race timing company, we use a 50" TV to present the results in odd outside places usually a field. We do have a Tesla with us and could use an inverter, but are thinking about a power bank.

The Tv says 150kwh on the back, can anyone recommend one that will give us about 3 hours use.

Ta.

I assume that's watts.

I generally rate Anker stuff but haven't tried many others.

You're going to want something with atleast 500Wh's probably a bit more if you want a bit of contingency.

Oops yes watts :-0

I keep a EcoFlow Delta 2 charged up and available in case of power cuts.

Ready to boil kettle, run microwave, use computers, charge phones

We had to use it last month after about a year in storage and it was still fully charged up.

Very heavy.

There are some nice small and quite light petrol generators you can buy now.

I used to have one to run a microwave/kettle/etc when off-roading.

They’re not too noisy and can be placed behind a vehicle to shield the noise further.

Edited after reading it's for 3 hours: If you have a car, a normal car will provide that for a long time; if you idle it, it will run for days. No need for a Tesla.

Otherwise as said 500Wh power-bank, perhaps double it for contingency/efficiency.

How about a deep cycle battery (AGM), an inverter to let that power the TV . Looked after by a Cetek charger back at base?

Ecoflow delta 2 would be perfect

I'd do this plus connect it to a solar panel for free electricity.

One note on the inverter - make sure it's a pure sine wave, rather than a modified sine wave, as some devices can't handle modified sine waves.

A lot of TVs are DC powered via an inline supply.
Some are 12V.
If you could find a 12 or 24V telly, you just need one or two car batteries.

Just a heads up - car batteries won't have the longevity as they don't like deep discharging so use a deep cycle battery. https://www.continentalbattery.com/blog/what-s-the...

possibly overkill for what you want buy i have one of these and its a monster (and a UPS)
