Trying this out. Dad got this battery bank/generator from Amazon a couple weeks ago (since he is a DJ and does gigs just in case if he needs power where a extension cord cannot be ran)

Seeing how these can charge up my batteries. 2s pack charging at 10 amps on 1 side pulling 110 watts. Says that the battery pack can take up to 270 watts so technically I can charge both at the same time and should be fine. I'll see how much power is left after my car battery is done charging. If this works out and if it still has enough power left could use this if I were going to a outdoor track or a long bash day away from home.

Edit:
Done charging one of the battery packs and the pack is sitting at 85 percent. I'm calling this a good mobile charging setup.

So, in essence a large battery pack with power inverter.
If you hooked up your LiPo charger to the 12v DC output of the power station, the maximum output is 10 amps?
I suspect so

Well technically, Google says more like 8.3 amps on DC.
With me last night via AC, my charger was saying 10 amps and I had set for 10 amps. But 110 watts converted to amps is more like 9.1. But... 🤷🤔
 
I bought the Bluetti AC70 1000W last Dec. It's seems to be good quality. It was replacing an EcoFlow that went belly up 3 months after the warranty expired and they wonn't service and did nothing for me. It took me a month to month to get that answer after a dozen poorly worded emails from their support.

So I switched to Bluetti

You should be good to charge both at the same time, that's a 600W pack with 285wh. The later meaning you can get 285 Watts for 1 hour. They use Wh instead of Ah (that we use) because you can get 120V or 12V and the Ah number will change.

BTW I did test mine. I hooked it up to my SkryRC discharger and ran it 0%. It's rated for 768Wh and it pretty dang close to that.
