Duracell Powerpack 600 is the handiest I've ever used. Sportmans Guide has them on sale right now for $99. Duracell bought out one of the biggest HD inverter companies in the world (Trace/Xantrex).
I've had one for three years and it's been much more useful then I'd figured on. Comes with a 28AH battery, 600 watt inverter (1000 watt surge), AM/FM radio, and light. The jumper cables have a quick disconnect to make carrying it easier. I originally bought it for jump starting tractors, but later found out you can plug in a 120 VAC 19" LCD TV and a 120 VAC DVD player, and easily watch two full movies before it gets low. It recharges by a 12 volt cigarette lighter outlet in a car, or a 120 VAC outlet at home.
If you go shopping around, pay close attention to the actual amp-hour rating of the battery inside and NOT the supposed CA or CCA ratings. Most have small batteries.
I think I paid $150 when I bought mine three years ago, and now I can get one for $89 (as a club member). I may buy another.

After a few paragraphs I usually close the book and go back to banging out dents. A good friend and I were recently discussing our tractor electrical systems when he stated "I figure it all comes back to applying Ohms Law". At this point
