E ErnieAsksQs Apr 6, 2017 #1 I go to events where there is no electricity. I need a power supply to keep my laptop and monitor showing video clips for about 8 hours. Any suggestions of what I could use?

D DelJo63 Apr 6, 2017 #2 8 HRS is extraordinary - - the object of a UPS is: to force a controlled shutdown while power is still available -- OR to give the user time to end tasks, save all docs and then shutdown. This is NOT the same as a mainframe powerstation used to avoid outages.

Maybe something like https://www.apexbattery.com/ub8d-ge...battery.html?gclid=CIPRx_f1kNMCFdaEswoda6sLbA plus an up-converter like https://www.lowes.com/pd/Schumacher...35a2bb1e377f&gclid=CO7Kovz2kNMCFY6KswodHOMLmw You will also need a cart to move it.
