I see this all the time on these posts. These have a purpose, which may not be for you. You can charge or extend your run time by using solar panels and can scale up to some degree. I am a contractor and have brought a Honda 2000 watt inverter generator with me on jobs for the last 6 or 7 years. I can use my Anker 1000 watt "solar generator" aka battery with multiple ways to charge much more efficiently than running my gas generator with less pollution that I'm breathing in. With my 200 watt solar panels I was "generating" ~170 watts under what I think are probably ideal conditions.
I occasionally work in disaster areas and may have limited access to fuel and running electricity. I can use my 2000 watt gas generator to run for 1 hour and effectively get all day use out of my tools and starlink. If I were exclusively running the gas generator I can get 4-7 hours on 1 gallon depending on the load. I can get multiple days of use on 1 gallon of fuel with this setup, not including the solar panels.
My big complaint with the multi battery setups like this is that they can't be charged without the main unit. If I could take the second battery to a location to recharge then bring back to top off the other unit I would find these much more effective.
That's not really what you asked but I want to give you the benefit of the doubt that your post wasn't being snarky.
Average house uses 29kWh per day. This is about 2kWh. So like 100 minutes. But in an emergency I'd cut it way down and keep the fridge running. Furnace or electric blankets if needed. Internet and electronic devices too.

If you're an electrician, you could DIY your own battery ("generator") better than this. Deep cycle battery, pure sine wave inverter, smart charger controller, fuses, and solar panels for under $1,000.

In all seriousness, for the layman, where do I start to get to that point. I am so sick of the monopolized grid that I want to be at least self sufficient in an emergency. Eventually get to net zero but …. as you say under $1000.

You should just buy a kit then. An emergency kit for like. A fridge and some electronics should run you about 2k an save you some money every month on your bill. Shop renogy kits

Plug solar panels into it and it stores electrons
