Backup system comparison

Hi All,

My brain is just not wired to understand the various calcs. and numbers floating around. 

I currently have the following inverter from geewiz:

During load shedding this powers my PC + 2 screens, a TV and router for around 5 hours (depends if im gaming inbetween)

With the recent load shedding at stage 6 this is not powerful enough and I would like advise on an upgrade that can take me from 5 hours to 12 hours +

I prefer pre-made systems as I can assure you, if I have to wire something, it will explode. 

I have been looking at something like this:

Will this 'power station' run for longer than 5 hours - how does it compare to what I have already? 

Would:

be a better option - not sure what kwh battery is in the geewiz lithium option.

Maybe a 2.5kwh battery option is better:
