Running my MacBook pro off one of my DeWalt power tool batteries. There are USB-C adapters for most major tool battery brands out there, many of which (like this one) will both power devices and charge the tool battery from a standard USB-C power plug. YMMV in terms of quality/safety (this is the official dewalt adapter which works great).

Great for power redundancy, etc. A no brainer if you already have the batteries for tools.

@ethanschoonover planning on using knockoff dewalt adapters for my whole power system I am building at my land! I want the whole thing to be modular and I think that would be the most useful plug

@liaizon I have a lot of "Various Batteries" here including some high density LiFeP04 batteries but increasingly i prefer something like this dewalt situation (or plain 12v lead acid).

Is the power system you're working on off grid on your own land?
