Thanks for the tech help MP. I see Wally13 says he gets about 2 nights on one battery pack? IF you could partially charge that battery pack every-night assuming you could get that Biolite to convert to 12 volt, wouldn't that extend you run time and need for fewer back-up packs?

Technically yes practically not enough to make it worth it.  If you cooked for one hour per meal and 2 meals per day every 12 days you could get one more night.  That is if you could convert 5 volts to 12 volts with near 100% efficiency and the battery charger would work on that light of a charge.   
The unique thing about that stove is because of the fan it probably does not make your pan black. It is heavy though.
