I want only portable devices like solar, and hand-crank chargers. I want to be able to boil water, charge my Laptop and phone, run my induction stove for a few minutes thrice a day, want it rugerdized at some point, and want to depend on my equipment for day to day life as preparation for having no support.

How am I doing so far? Did I waste money?

I got the battery from their official eBay as a refurbished unit so it was a huge discount.

Another option is buying one or more lithium battery such as 12v 100ah and using a charge controller and inverter. Then you can scale or grow the system to your needs, it’s a bit more complicated to setup but way more versatile.
