My Portable Power Pack

Started work on a new power box today. Away in the caravan tomorrow so will give it a test then if I get it finished. I'll be at Billing on the Saturday if anyone wants a closer look.

Just need to wire the internals now.

Thought of adding a inverter?

Hello again Thumbs Up

The box is a Really Usefull one. It's one of their heavy duty ones but I'm going to have a look at a couple of others. The battery will be a 75ah one at least, maybe an 85ah one.

I've got most of the bits already to make another one then I'll have to buy everything. Plans for this one is an inverter and some solar panels as well. Could also do bespoke ones to individuals requirements.

As it stands you'd be looking at £200 plus p&p but a forum price of £185 plus p&p

Again maybe a group buy could be arranged Thumbs Up

Cheers

Andy

For those with a C-tek charger I can fit a comfort lead in lieu of a charger.

Had people comment that fitting an Anderson connector would be a good idea. What size would be the most useful.

Cheers

Settled on a new box. This is the one to be used on the production models.










75ah battery with volt meter, 2 X 12v outlets, twin USB port and a couple of LED lights.

Have got a working model now. Will take some photos of the lights when it gets dark. I've had a few orders for these from other social media sites. I'll be starting a new thread, maybe a group buy, to see if anyone on here is interested in one.

Thanks

Cheers Paul Thumbs Up

Yeah on my hols at the minute. Box is complete and in production. Will be sorting out becoming a site supporter when I get home and will be advertising them on here. In the meantime if anyone wants to order one just send me a PM. Site donation will be made from any sold on here.

Cheers
