@Capt PJ posted:Nice report and testing. Aren't these things just fancy batteries? Good pics too.
For some this is a fine addition to their camping experience.
I just can't see the advantage for me. I have a 2000w inverter and solar and two AGM. With room for two more in a pre-designed wired cubby.
So far just haven't needed two more. Plus I got an onboard genset with about 87 hours. I think.
I'll be watching for use reports and plus and minus comments. 🙂
They really are just fancy batteries, but there's a lot you can do with batteries that give you loves of options to charge them. I just went dry-camping with 4 other families, and everyone was stuck at my site because mine was the only one capable of powering some nice lighting for conversations and cards into the night. If I had one of these units we could have gone to ANY site, even the beach if we really wanted to. All without a noisy generator.
I don't want a generator, at all. That constant drone drives me crazy and I can't relax; it gives me anxiety or plays off my tinnitus or something. Whatever it is about them, it ruins the experience. So this is a solution for me to that problem of "how do I get portable electricity without the annoying sound."
You said you can't see an advantage for you and that makes sense; you have your camping routine pretty well baked so this is a solution without a problem for you. For me this is like an electrical jerry can that I can refill from my solar or from the truck bed's power point.
