What you guys are talking about really got me searching. I found this Xantrex Power Pack in the Home Depot site, but it seems only available on line and it's out of stock. Are what you guys referring to similar? I like the 28 Ah rating but the weight has me confused, assembled it's 29 lbs., but further down it says "Weight: 58 lbs." (Perhaps that's the shipping weight?) Can anyone offer any enlightenment? What do your units, if similar, weigh?

Fred, it looks like the same one as this one at Canadian Tire: link

I looked at that one, but rejected it as it was more than I wanted to spend. I did lift it up though, and it was pretty heavy. Much more than 20 AH one I bought.

BTW, does anybody know what happens if you don't charge these things for the recommended time before using them for the first time? I'm kinda of hoping to use mine tomorrow night, but it will have only been about 36 hours versus the 48 they recommend before the first use.
