4 * 3.2V 100aH LiFePO4 batteries for $180
Daly BMS 4S 12V with WiFi monitoring $69
1200 watt pure sine wave inverter $125
So $375 to build your own system. I use mine for camping. I have a 12v light string that uses about 35w on high and 9w on low, so the system will power that for days, as well as charge cell phones, tablets, ipads, speakers, etc.
And as the other person said - it's nice to have the individual components to swap out if anything goes bad.
For charging the above system, I use a Victron SmartSolar MPPT 75/15 solar charger ($68) and a couple solar panels for 200w of charging power in full sun.
Other charging options include a 120v AC to 14v DC LiFePO4 battery charger ($40), or a DC-DC charger ($30) for charging from your vehicle's 12v power, to charge up while driving.
Of course, the real savings for a DIY setup comes from stepping up the capacity. A 12.8v 320aH setup (for 4096Wh total) can be had for ~$720 ($450 battery bank + $70 BMS + $125 inverter + $68 solar charge controller).
My off-grid solar system for my house employs 16 * 3.2v 310aH batteries for 15,872Wh of capacity. I paid $1800 for all the battery capacity.

The killer app with these is how small they are compared to other units with similar capacity. This is the lightest and most portable 1kWh unit to my knowledge, and doesn't have any silly gimmicks--just the basics. Great for taking on the go or quickly toting to different spaces around the house.

Jackery is a US-based company and apparently still the largest by market share. You can call their 1-888 number during business hours and speak to an American customer service person. They can initiate a RMA for you. Or you can contact them via email or via their website contact us form.

I'm looking for something that can be use like a UPS (not as a UPS...not "like a UPS"). I'm currently using EcoFlow and Bluetti, they both provide 20ms-30ms auto-switch from AC to Battery, some some devices may lose power for a short period. To resolve this, I pair it with an actual UPS -- this UPS doesn't have to be large, just enough to provide at least 1 minute of power until the ECO or Bluetti 20ms/30ms switchover completes. The UPS sits between the Delta2/AC1800 and the devices. I'm using this is cases where I lose power. Got something like this for my Internet Modem, my router/firewall, my main Wifi accesspoint at one location, and my home office at another. So, whenever there is a outage at home during the day, I don't need to drive into the office or take PTO.
There is another location (my wife's) I want to setup the same... can this Jackery support AC passthrough, then auto-switch to battery power once it loses power like the EcoFlow and Bluetti models could?

Below is a video review that tests the UPS mode at 10:55 mark:

Hope that helps.
The app is utterly useless but otherwise the thing is built well enough for my needs and it works in that it charges things and is quick to charge.
