At the 1228wh range you might wanna look at something with wheels. They portable but not really :D

In LFP terms you starting to look at Power stations in the 25-30 KG range.
 
It's a good price since it's LiFePO4, get it while it's at a good price

The LUCE Portable Power Station takes only 2 hours to charge to 100% of the home battery backup via the wall outlets (230V AC 600W Max). With built-in MPPT technology to speed up solar panel charging at a max power rate, there is power whenever there is sunlight. So, you can charge your camping generator with solar panels (200w Max)

The LUCE power generator supports Pass-Through Charging, which means it can be discharged while charging, if the power suddenly stops during load-shedding, it will automatically switch on within 0s to provide emergency power to your connected appliances, without worrying about power outages. Please note however that once fully charged, the unit will switch off automatically to prevent overcharging. It will simply require you to switch it on again to continue using it

But it think the battery won't last as long if you charge and recharge at the same time

I think because it's portable the price will always be higher i.t.o price vs Wh, trolleys should be discussed in another thread and it would be more bang for buck imo.

Like I said that numbers WH's gonna be heavy so borderline portable.

Not referring to trollies as you get portable power stations with wheels:

LOL, i think the terminology of portable means it's able to pick it up and move around wherever you going. Those are semi portable and can be moved around with some help, but got better storage.

I think it all depends what you want to keep up and timeframe

Cause a LiFePO4 battery alone can weigh that much if not more on its own.

Do you suspect that they are lying about the capacity of that LUCE unit?

I know that Ecoflow does something clever with the inverter, they use the inverter as the charger in reverse in order to save on internal components.
