I’ve got a few 30,000 MaH battery packs one with solar panels on it to self charge.

All only have USB ports where you can plus in and power things up.

What I am trying to find is a usb cable but with a plug socket at the other end (I mean where you plug in a 3 pin socket). I cannot find anything online.

Huh?

You want to power a 230v, 3 to 13amp appliance from a 5v phone charger?

You want USB to mains?

Bit of a tall ask. USB-C would give you the best chance, but it's still pretty limited. 100W is the maximum (although 240W is on the cards). This is 0.41A (or 1A when 240W is available).

If it's a USB-A or B, then 15W is the maximum. This would give you about 62mA at mains voltages.

What do you want to power?

I want to power our led lights in the tent from it. We missed out on electric hook up. It has a 3 pin or a 12v fag lighter as power options. Hoping the battery pack can deliver

If the LED lights are 5V, then forego any adapters. If they are 12V, then use a 5V to 12V coverter. Don't go to mains.

You'd(probably) be better off buying a rechargeable camping light, I know it's something else to remember to charge up before you go, so get one that can be recharged from USB and you're good to go.

Do you have it, or is it a potential purchase? The important thing is thr mains PSU. It should tell you what its output voltage (and current) is.

Unfortunately, the picture on their website isn't clear enough.

You're probably looking for something like this, a camping power pack but they're big, heavy and expensive. https://www.amazon.co.uk/EF-ECOFLOW-Portable-Flash...

AIUI he's got the power bank and the lights, but needs one of these: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/174823724347?mkevt=1&am...

That only outputs 8W at 12V so it wouldn't power that many LED lights.
