    I have 3 of the power packs, They have a 12V 18ah AGM battery and each can easily run my CPAP for 8 hours. Never tried testing how long the USB chargers are good for, but I have the adapter for my dewalt battery packs that can charge my cell phone

    But for a kids playhouse, abondon the 120VAC wiring, and use the jump packs..... and let the kids learn to bring them in to charge them up.

      One advantage of using something like that for the playhouse is that if you have bad weather blocking your PV you can always carry the power pack to the house to charge it.

        Yeah. They are light & portable and can provide enough power for small loads before they can be easily charged at the house.

        I guess the big question is how many watt hours does the OP think his kids will use each day. Once that is determined then a portable battery system can be sized.
