Power for a model railway? Lighting? What is in the shed??

I think would obtain a Leisure 12volt battery (its not a car battery) and a 2000 - 2500watt or similar 12v to 240v invertor. If need be make a crate for the leisure battery and bring that back to the house for recharging.

We have that in our shed in the fields we look after. Battery is recharged with cheap (ish) solar panels. We have LED lights and with the inverter can charge power tool batteries.

Don't have any experience with power banks, or inverters, other than reading about them in Waterways World magazine.

We have a car type 12 volt socket in our shed running from a car type battery. Inverter plugs into the socket then a power tool battery charger plugs into the inverter (13amp plug) This supplies enough power to charge Stihl batteries. Works a treat.
This is the inverter just for interest.
