Aha! Yes.
Dunno how much juice you need, but I am installing one of these, tied into solar and a smart power switch:
au.ecoflow.com/…/ecoflow-river-3-max-plus-portabl…
Part of the reason I chose it is exactly what you are talking about. It has a direct DC output, so you can avoid the battery DC --> AC --> router power supply --> DC conversion chain. I have a bunch of DC capable gear (Raspberry Pi, router etc) and I’d rather not incur the losses in conversion.
FWIW, the car-style DC outlet supplies 12.6 V at up to 10 A, or 126 W. So it has more than enough current capacity for a 12 V 5 A router. (It also has USB power, if that’s an option for you).
You’d still need to check whether your router is happy with 12.6 V rather than exactly 12 V though. You’d also need the correct barrel size and polarity.
On the plus side, It gives you 858 Wh of storage (depending on which model you do with), a <10 ms UPS transfer time, and enough AC output to keep quite a bit of your other electronic junk alive during a blackout or brownout.
In any case, please enjoy the delicious overkill. I’ve seen the River 3 plus + extra battery on sale for as low as A$599 / 420 USD. And yes, they can be charged by normal wall socket (and also yes, the DO pass-thru as well)
