I carried a Jackery 500 that weighs 14lbs....tested it and it lasted well longer than two loads of ice (trip there and back). Add in some solar panels that fold up and you can charge while at destination if needed.

I tried to plug in a small tire pump on the ground, and blew the fuse. My AME had an expensive look around before he found the fuse location, given in this thread. I use it for my IPad in flight.
