If someone would be willing to EL5 this for me, I’d be deeply appreciative.

    ° Power is almost always stored on DC batteries.

    ° Converting (DC to AC, or/and AC to DC) makes you lose about 20-30% of your capacity

    = Use as much DC as possible!

    if you want to charge a phone from a power station. Use the USB or DC ports that is has. This can save you 20%+20% (battery DC to AC and back to phones DC)

    Don’t charge a power bank, to charge a phone. Every converting step takes a bite out of your capacity

    But basically all big or motor/compressor appliances run on AC and changing them to DC requires skill and time and money. Although doable for me, I would not recommend this to anyone without them having an Electrical Engineering degree
