Thanks!

Can a 20 Amp peak, 16amp continuous power supply handle a 20 watt radio? Power Supply Astron RS-20M-AP Desktop 13.8VDC Linear Power Supply with Meters and Anderson Power Poles, 20A Peak, 16A Continuous https://a.co/d/5DZ8vIP Radio https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-kg-xs20g.html

Battery, charger and connectors look like the way to go! I'll probably head in that direction. Hoping I don't need to add fuses or other components to protect the radio. I'll have to check one smart charger I have at another location to see if it would work. Thanks for simplifying the required power requirements. I have a pair of KG-935G+ handhelds and the KG-XS20G uses the same menus and operates similarly, so my preference would be to wait for the Wouxun to come back in stock.

In the simplest form, is it possible to connect a 12V 10 Ah battery directly to the radio? Do you need something in-between the battery and radio? Would something like https://www.amazon.com/12-Volt-Rechargeable-Lithium-Battery/dp/B00JK06CK8?ref_=ast_sto_dp provide full power to a KG-XS20G+ https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-kg-xs20g.html ? Sorry about my ignorance, but I would like to get full power out of the radio without damaging it. What is the general formula to use? Are these type of boxes advantages? https://www.ebay.com/itm/203198203515?hash=item2f4f8e867b:g:BI4AAOSwLppdQbsV

I have more reasons for a mobile base station that is powered by a battery system, so I am back on the path looking for a battery pack system.

Thanks for all your input! I'm hesitant going with the Jackery and now leaning toward getting the DWC30WIN 30A Switching Power Supply. That will allow me to get comfortable using the radio as a base station while plugged into A/C at all three locations I need. I'll use it in my SUV if I need to make it portable. I may revisit a portable power supply if the need arises. Specs on A/C power converter: https://www.buytwowayradios.com/wouxun-dwc30win-wx.html

That is what I was running across as well. I'm pretty sure 50W radios would not work, especially since they do not come with a car port. I'll keep researching. My backup is to use an A/C power supply with a long extension cord.

Thanks for the info. If I end up getting the Jackery, I would be using it with other electrical devices.

re: Power requirements for KG-XS20G+ I'm new to GMRS and purchased a KG-935G Plus. I'm contemplating adding a KG-XS20G Plus to use as a base station at multiple locations. I would have more flexibility using a portable battery setup rather than using a 30A Switching Power Supply plugged into an A/C outlet. I think the Jackery 300 Plus has enough juice to power a 20 watt mobile GMRS radio for 12 hours. It appears I could use the Jackery car port for the KG-XS20G+ for power up to 12 volts and 10 amps. Do most people use this type of set up for a portable base station? I may also use the KG-XS20G+ in my SUV occasionally plugged into the car port but will not drill any holes.
