What are you folks using here? I have 2 kids that have lots of electronics. We used a cheap Amazon power strip this weekend and it worked good. But just seeing if I can find something a little better, or a shorter cord, etc.
I need USB and regular 120V outlets. Thanks

Jackery 300, when back in stock. Bonus, can be used in many other scenarios.

I wouldn’t. That inverter is easy to overload.

You think it would get overloaded with iPads and Nintendo Switch's?
If thats the case maybe I will just go the power station route?

If the power rating of 150 Watts is exceeded, the power inverter will automatically shut down. Once the electrical device has been removed from the outlet the inverter should automatically reset. If the power rating exceeds approximately 170 Watts, the power inverter may have to be reset manually.

Just checked our iPad, its charger is 20 watts. We do have an aftermarket high speed charger too, it is 25 watts. Not sure about the Nintendo charger, but it probably says somewhere on it. Guessing you'll be ok running a few of these low power devices off the rear 120V outlet.

Laptop power supplies would add up much more quickly, they often run anywhere from 40 - 100 watts dependin on the laptop model.
