Yeah thought of that

But do they come in capacities capable of running a
week with small to moderate loads for lighting and
such?


You ae not going to run anything for a week off of a battery you can
carry. Batteries as a backup power source are very limited. Enough
lithium batteries to be of any use will cost a small fortune.

If you need a week you need a generator.
