All in all, I am not still buying this Bluetti because like you said, people like me don't have that disposable income. I'll wait for more competition to drive the price down.... however your alternative solutions for this weren't any better. In fact, it is more expensive and dangerous.
http://www.batteriesin
Walmart's EverStart Group 24 has 101 Ah.
So ~1200 Wh.
My BatteryMinder does not need a 60A MPPT when charging.
Individual case is fine. Why put all three together? Again 80% discharge, so just swap batteries if you need to use more. I have 2 batteries for my camper, so unlike the Bluetti, I can use my 12v in multiple tasks. Run camper; run with inverter during outage.
While it may not have as much charge time (need higher Group?), have 2 12v deep cycle marines at $80 is still cheaper than this LiFePO4.
I cannot comment on the safety just during discharge.
Charging any LiPO or 12v is done in my garage. Don't want any of these exploding if overcharged. The BatteryMinder charger for the 12v should not overcharge though.
If worried about H gas, then use the battery and inverter outside on the porch/garage.

You basically gave us a link that says not to discharge Deep Cycle (thick plate) batteries below 50%. Thin plates like your regular car battery should not be discharged below 80%. Nice article find BTW. Of course you can discharge Deep Cycle batteries to 20% if you wish but you are killing it. It means that the charge cycle will drop drastically, it will boil and corrode. The link you provided even have a graph of that. Did you even read it?
BTW, This Bluetti does not have LiPo batteries.. it is has LiFePO4 which you can discharge safely to 1% with no long term effect . It is also much stable than your Deepcycle battery. LiFePO4 has 3000 life charge cycle then after that, capacity drops to 80% but you can still use it.
The LiFePO4 is way way way cheaper than Deep Cycle batteries in the long run. Not to mention it is more stable, more portable, no fumes, no spills, no water level maintenance and way way more light weight.
imo running electric heat in an emergency (I'd go with targeted electric heat, like a heated blanket/jacket/etc), even with portable generators (<3kW) is really not ideal and rather wasteful; fine if you have a fuel heater and all you need is power for the furnace fan, if not I prefer something like a BuddyHeater.
OTOH I had a Craftsman snow blower that wouldn't start the second year, still under warranty. The repair man told me it was a POS and I should plan on replacing the carb yearly. It never clogged again. Go figure.
There is a lot of designed obsolescence with the cheap Chinese stuff out there... at least it has got to be otherwise it is some of the worst engineering in the world. A lot of the cheap power tools out there are really bad. If your Craftsman snow blower has a Huayi carburetor, then that is your problem.
EDIT: I missed the part about it running now. Maybe he just made sure it was tuned right. I know with my Stihl power tools the shop I use makes sure the carburetors are properly adjusted before you leave the store. I've never had an issue with any Stihl power tools. Stihl carburetors are different then most though. They have multiple adjustments.

Better off getting a wood-burning stove and a couple cords of wood.

Nat gas has never stopped in TX gulf coast emergencies in 50+ yrs. Less power output but reliable and sufficient fuel for emergency duration, no lines, no siphon, no SUN. Tri fuel gen here is king if noise and outside source isn't factor.
Gas is fine if you run carb dry of gas and treat stored gas. Skip that, and you have to clean the carb. Replacement carbs are about $20, but Amazon doesn't deliver in weather emergencies.
WHAT WE DID IN TX IN FEB...
Bro has this battery gen. I have gas port 5500W generator and 27 gal of gas. We used them together to mostly keep life normal, watch TV with living room light and space heater. Heated blankets at night, trivial power... use the battery for all this.
Multiple space heaters for a couple warm rooms, we used the gas gen. Mom is older, needed normal temps req space heaters.
Both of these power sources have operational limitations you have to consider. Redundancy and not depending on a single fuel source is one sometimes missed. During hurricane Harvey, power was out for > a week, so no refueling of cans. Longer than usual, but not unpredictable or impossible. Needed a lot of gas (thus 27 gal). Can cycle through cars every year, but usually OK if treated and run carb dry.
Each power source has pro's and con's. Emergency preparedness requires defining requirements and scenarios (including time) and choosing solutions to meet or exceed those. No solution is perfect in all cases. Choose wisely. For YOUR situation.
*Sounds like maybe about 3hrs as start-up may be 1600w but on-going is about 600w.
Where did you manage to find them open box? I'd be interested in waiting a bit to see one on the market. Thank you.
