No, it is not compatible with a Canon 580EX II or any other still camera flashes.  Below is a link to the archived product link for the 580EX II flash on the B&H website.  Under the "Accessories" tab there you will see a list of accessories, the first category being the "Batteries and Power" section. If you click there, you can see a group of external battery pack options which are compatible with the flash.  See the link below for details.

Will this power pack safely run a Canon A1 or a Canon HV-40 without having to plug in--and do so for 5 or 6 hours?

This kit supplies power to devices which have a 4-pin XLR DC power input. The Canon XHA1 and HV40 do not have this input and will not be able to be powered from this unit unfortunately.

Greetings -- is this an acceptable battery power source for new Panasonic GH4 video interface unit - compatible with video interface unit so circuitry of same is safe - with no possible damage to circuitry ?

 

Thank you for your reply !

Using the Bescor with the XLR cable it will deliver the 12V needed to power the GH4's YAGH interface unit.
