    What's a good way to charge my 12v battery box?

    Hi, You can not directly charge a small 12v 12Ah battery direct from your vehicle unless a charge controller is fitted inline. An option to consider is a small solar panel (40w max) with solar charge controller. Regards Dave G

    Solar Panel for charging?

    As a option, have you thought of a portable power pack with built in inverter with USB and 12v outputs. Most of these can be charged by solar, vehicle and AC. Sent from my SM-G950F using OB Talk mobile app

    Gday from the South Coast of NSW

    Welcome Adam, I spent many years down there when I was based at Albatross with the Navy. You should get yourself out to Yalwal, great area. It was the dirt road to Canberra when I was there, now fully tar.

    Dual Battery and Solar Panel System Questions

    Good advice above, 89BurbonBoy always a good idea to work out you power draw before deciding on the size of battery and inverter. There are some good examples of wiring diagrams at Traxide . I do like how your can back feed solar charge from any battery with the Traxide controllers. Also have a...

    KINGS AWNING

    I personally don't use any of their gear (that’s a personal back story, Integrity isn't one of their company values) and I prefer to use Australian awnings where I can. My current awnings are a Polaris Innovations 2m x 2.5m on the vehicle and a 3.5m x 2.35m 270 degree Supa Peg on the squaredrop...

    Traxide isolators

    Hi Nick, I've been using Traxide gear for over 15 years and always found hem to be top quality and dependable. Most of my installs have been a main battery under the bonnet, Aux battery in the rear and a third battery connected in the caravan/camper through an anderson plug. All connected...

    Not sure on the cost of the paint protection as I haven't had the treatment yet, a quality car detailer should be able to help with a quote.

    Dual Battery and Solar Panel System Questions

    Hi, Lead acid batteries are prone to crystallization over time, which is a leading cause of battery failure. Equalization charging only applies to flooded lead acid batteries as the high equalizing charge will cause gassing & bubbling of the electrolytes and you have to replace lost water during...

    Dual Battery and Solar Panel System Questions

    Hi Doug, I would say the 120v AC fridge through an inverter would use more battery power to run due to the conversion from 12v DC to 120v AC. The compressor chest type car fridges work well for efficiency and the cold doesn't roll out the door like a normal stand up fridge. Also your stuff...
