For some reason the official version is not available on Amazon, but there are plenty of off-brands that look similar. You can also pick one up at your local home depot (not an advertiser).
Have to be honest, this looks like a "order from us, we'll tack on 10% and drop ship it from amazon" site. It's one of the first things I check when I see new "prepper" business adverts.
Specifically the prices from the solar products are exactly $100 more than amazon (even the "on sale" items).
Preppers best: Goal Zero Yeti 1250 Solar Generator
I only spot checked a few of the food prices but they all seem identical as well.
Do you have any relationship with the vendors of the products you sell (wholesale to retail) or just a retail to retail aggregate?
The typical value proposition of these large-capacity portable battery banks revolve around the "I hate dealing with gasoline/natural gas canisters, engine oil (required to run most gas generators, which are frequently sold without any), noise (gas generators are not quiet by design), and weight (DAE LIFT WEIGHTS!?!??!?)".
Having that said, I recognize the "leading lead acid competitor": it's the Goal Zero Yeti 1250, and having been on the market for quite some time, its performance characteristics are well-known. While browsing Amazon though I came across this non-SLA "gas generator". Notice the front panel with the 12V and USB outlets? That's a carbon copy of what was demoed on the Grengine, the difference is that the AC inverter outlets are on the side instead of being situated left of the panel.
*looks further down* Oh shit... Grengine Ultra Lite is a literal clone of what I just linked! This is an Alibaba resell! Then again, this is IGG, where reselling existing products is always a thing. Also the pricing for their Ultra Lite is $599 plus shipping. Er guys? These are already being sold on Amazon for just 400 bucks shipped!
Another thing about these battery-based "generators" is the user needs to get their feet dirty in solar panels and the like in order to get the most out of these heavy power banks. In other words, this isn't a battery pack, it's a long-term commitment into off-grid power and that $1450 price (for the full-size unit) is just a down-payment!
In a power blackout situation, I'd much rather have a gas generator instead.
I just use this. It doesn’t attach to packout boxes, but it’s super easy to carry. I just leave my batteries attached.

This is good. I have one. I can get 4 charges on 1 dewalt battery with my brand new galaxy s22
If you have any power tools or something similar with high capacity batteries, you can probably get an adapter for your needs. For example for our DeWalt batteries I bought this USB adapter off Amazon which works perfectly for many festival needs.
I'm late to the party, but I have DeWalt heater jacket that has a little clip-on connector that attaches to the battery. It provides 20V to the jacket, via a small barrel plug and has a USB port so you can charge your phone, providing 5V. It looks very similar to this: https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCB090-12V-Power-Source/dp/B00EYSUK7W
Something like this; there's all kinds of options if you search for USB adapters
I'm in construction, plumbing, and I see an even split between DeWalt and Makita out in the world. Makita is better for sure, but they sell more DeWalt at the box stores and for cheaper.
I still have to own some Milwaukee for some niche specialized tools. Adapters are the shit. Most people don't seem to know about them.
Dewalt makes a 12 volt charger for their batteries. I have it and it works well. But it's like $100! If someone could figure out how to make one, I'd love to see it. I only have the one and wish I could have a few more, but I'm not paying that price again. https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCB119-12-Volt-20-Volt-Vehicle/dp/B0052MINWS/ref=sr_1_4?keywords=dewalt+12v+battery+charger&qid=1662252501&sr=8-4&ufe=app_do%3Aamzn1.fos.f5122f16-c3e8-4386-bf32-63e904010ad0
Dewalt makes a car charger for the 20v batteries. It takes car voltage 12-15v. The marine battery acts as an equalizer taking inconsistent power from solar panels, and gives a stable power supply to the dewalt charger.
Solar panels don't normally have the amperage for starting current. Batteries and/or large capacitors add the starting current for the panels.
The mppt controller prevents the marine battery from being overcharged.
On the plus side you can add a car power socket and run anything that can plug into a car.

OK so none of the major brands list the power output on their 12v chargers, however they claim to charge in about an hour for the standard battery. Based on what the home chargers can do, I'm guessing the 12v charger runs at least one amp.
https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCB119-12-Volt-20-Volt-Vehicle/dp/B0052MINWS
They also sell USB adapters. They would be better than the inverter for USB charging because of the efficiency loses of the inverter would very likely be greater than the voltage regulator in the USB adapter.
There's also a 26800 battery tube available via email request. 26800 cells aren't super common, but mine are measuring at around 7200mah which is a really nice bump in capacity over a typical 5000mah 26650 cell. The catch is there aren't any good bay chargers so you have to use one of these super slow magnetic chargers (14 hours to charge a 26800).
For 18$ you can just replace it.
Not worth the problems you will have trying to fix it from a safety point on view.

Basically if you have to ask then the answer is no.
I'll just link you to this guy's solution:

Or just buy the DeWalt power station:

Makita is a good brand. You won't go wrong by going with that system.
You can also buy a battery adapter https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Adapter-Charger-Milwaukee-Convert/dp/B07STCR6GD/ if you want to mix and match.
fwiw I have around 20 Milwaukee m18 and m12 tools and they've all done me well.
Not sure if they are still making them, but it's pretty awesome.
I bought mine for around $200, but apparently they're up to almost $400 on amazon.
Here's the one. So far so good. The fit is a little rattly on the m18 side but it works. I'll probably buy some Milwaukee batteries and a charger later. The brad gun is amazing.
And have a backup bank in case the first is missing, loaned out or not charged. Also portable power tools have usb adapters for those batteries.

I use mostly Milwaukee.
Dewalt has a fairly pricey one, but still worth it for hurricane prep in my opinion:

I haven’t seen one for black and decker.
Indeed. Fortunately, you can find adapter kits on Amazon, which makes it possible to interchange batteries. https://www.amazon.com/Converter-Adapter-Charger-Milwaukee-Convert/dp/B07STCR6GD/ref=sr_1_2?crid=3B3OEUCO8J0NT&dchild=1&keywords=makita+to+milwaukee+battery+adapter&qid=1592913091&sprefix=makita+to+milwaukee%2Caps%2C176&sr=8-2
Don't buy those for that purpose. Just get Eneloops only, and use one of these:
That charger isn't much bigger than all the USB connectors combined, but it gives you the advantage of being able to charge anything with it. Then you get full Eneloop power, and only 1 USB connector. You save space, and maximize electrochemistry.
Adding on to this is you already have alot of drill battery's around you can find a portable battery pack adapter that goes on your drill batteries I have one for DeWalt and Milwaukee

Maybe you don't need power? You could use something like https://www.amazon.com/DEWALT-DCB1800B-Portable-Power-Station/dp/B01H41SDGU and LED work lights
I don't know any specs off hand, but I keep one of these in the car and in my pack for emergencies. Super compact and can charge a plethora of batteries.

Because it's safe and convenient. This whole anti-USB charging brigade is a bit over the top man, for most, if not all, single 18650 mods it's literally no problem because there is no balancing required. It's with the dual or more batteries you run into problems.
OP sorry to see your problem. You can grab a simple single 18650 charger like the XTAR MC1 to charge those batteries externally, it works great.
You are honestly better off rolling your own. For example, you would likely need one of these for 1-2 hours of usage.
You could roll you own for much, much cheaper. I'll go hunt down an instructable for you.
