I think the issue is too much is going on around you, confusing you and overwhelming you. Go outside to a quite place where nobody can bother or distract you. You though may get bored, so may as well take a drone with you. That may help you think clearly about what your priorities are.

I had wondered myself how good two 12v 7A sealed lead acid batteries would do. I think the constant full charging and discharging would kill them quickly though.
I have to admit, I am not very proficient on the leaded acid specificities, but LI-ION are ok - I have had this pack for a long time and used it sporadically on the field to charge my LI-POs for my custom build FPV quads. Works like a charm and still keeps a good capacity. @bmsleight - I forgot the type of battery you have in your charging case. Was it leaded acid?
12V 30Ah Lithium LiFePO4 Battery
I got this one off Temu and it works a treat. I use it for charging my DJI drone batteries as well as powering my smart telescopes. It will also charge my MacBook Pro so I think for the money it is worth it. My 5-8w solar panels will charge it as well … albeit very slowly!
I use the Jackary 2000 power bank with solar panels. It’s a decent bit of kit to be fair.
WTF you are sorted, a 50 kWh battery would last us all for the BM 
and I bet your car has a larger battery
There is a fast charger about 10 mins away at a garden centre on the A14 that I charged mine up at last time
So gutted mine hasn’t got V2L 
It has a 64.8kWh battery in it. I am a good boy, and only charge it to 80%, but may charge it to 100% before I leave (2 hours drive to the BM) to make sure I get plenty of juice for the weekend! lol
Although, this is still an ‘if’ as I won’t know for a day or two if I can actually come .
Pink ticket still pending eh 
Sadly yes 
. Sure it will be fine.
Tell them its a wellbeing break.
@milkmanchris, I have a better plan. I am going to talk about drones so much it winds her up. Then will say that it might be a good idea to let me go to an event with other drone enthusiasts so I can learn more about them, and this will stop me going on about them. Also she can star-fish in the bed while I am away. She will probably ask me if I can go for the week, or two, and can I leave now.
Just check out any of the following ‘What happens at the Big Meet, stays at the Big Meet’ threads
I will warn you, they can be very expensive, lots of toys to play with, not just drones, they are the tip of a very large iceberg.
My wallet agrees -
1st BM attended - June 2024 - cost me the following -
Tent
Sleeping bag
Airbed
Cadac BBQ
Usual crockery & accessories
EcoFlow River 2 Max power bank
2nd BM attended - Sept 2024 -
Speedybee Bee 25 FPV quad
Radiomaster Pocket RC
LiPo Batteries
LiPo Charger
Since then my poor wallet hasn’t had a break.
3x more FPV quads
Numerous Lipos of various sizes
Larger charger
Endless Props
Soldering iron and associated tools
Folding chairs
Folding table
Another Radiomaster RC (TX15 Max)
3d Printer and AMS for repairing Quads and printing other crap (as the missus tells me)
Mind you, I’m not complaining, I’ve had some amazing laughs, met some great people and made some fantastic friends too.
Every single penny spent has been worth it
Ok, so what I am hearing is leave your bank/credit cards at home. Get enough fuel in the car to get there and back. Only bring food vouchers for Tesco to be able to get food and drink. Disable Google/Apple Pay on phones and watches.
Then, go to my normal ‘No questions asked’ leather worker, and ask for some blinkers so I can’t get distracted from flying my drone.
They are always good to have. This is my main one. Can print 11 colours in a single print. I got bored and put my smallest printer inside it, took this photo, then posted it in a 3D printer forum saying I am now printing my own printers as a single print. So many people thought I was being serious. They clearly don’t know me…
Not at everyones cost I agree, but I was sucking up 59W’s of solar energy yesterday whilst down at the coast. 
It’s the online purchases that I made either during or after the BM’s
And the campfire Temu/TikTok/Ali clicks when @DeanoG60 gets his toys out ;o)
