Size it in watt-hours
Capacity (Wh) is how long it lasts; output (W) is what it can run at once. Add up the watts of what you plan to plug in and how many hours you need them.
Weekend camping: Jackery Explorer 1000 v2
The Explorer 1000 v2 has about 1,070Wh, enough for lights, phones, a small fridge or a CPAP for a weekend trip. Check price on Amazon

The DELTA 2 Max roughly doubles the capacity at about 2,048Wh with 2,400W output, better for longer outages or power-hungry appliances. Check price on Amazon
