Yeah,a good start I thought.... -
Sweet-well done!!
Yes, I forgot
I'll try and look tonight. I had to laugh, it seems the NL was designed for the drivers lock knob to break the same on every car, and be repaired in the exact same way with the screw. Don't know how they...

Have to admit I'm surprised about the low charge current listed for most lithium 12v, given that most cells I've always played with can handle at least 1c minimum charge rate even when they are low current cells.
The bms in them should limit the...Leave a comment:

Thanks dicko. Most batteries recommend charging at say 1/3C (or thereabouts). Will higher rated charger be able to back off the current to suit whatever capacity battery you have, or will it just pump out the full 20a into your (eg) 20a battery?Leave a comment:

I'm actually starting to rethink this ArkPak. While the size is way too big, given its got charger on board, solar input, inverter etc etc it may suit me well for most things I'll want to do now and in the future. Could just pull the lid off it and mount...Leave a comment:

Thanks Dicko. That Renogy stuff looks quite well priced with decent warranty also. I've noticed small batteries its usually around $10/ah, so 50ah would be around the $500 mark. That one is $300. Plus they list what cells they use in it etc, surprising...Leave a comment:

Thanks guys. Saw the waeco box and a few alternatives, but once I'm getting up to those prices I feel I'm better just going lithium and charger
I was offered an ArkPak for $200 with a 100ah deep cycle, assume it charges off car also, along...Leave a comment:

Unfortunately have to program and hit start for it to charge whatever you have it hooked up to. Obviously need something that will charge whenever car is running without input from me. Was more commenting that dc to dc chargers aren't exactly cheap...Leave a comment:

Charging small deep cycle from cigarette lighter
Hey all.
So now I've got fridge and the recommendations on powering it etc, I'm starting to think about alternatives. Small lithium and dc to dc charger is starting to look fairly pricey and getting complicated compared to what I'm hoping... -
Yeah, that's why you should "never update your OS"
Someone dropped the ball on that one it appears. Wonder if they didn't bother checking things, expensive mistake all the same. Only fair they're not paid if service doesn't...Leave a comment:

Here comes another "never update your firmware" comment!Leave a comment:

Yeah, I think that is probably a good idea for things Dicko, cheers. Bit surprised at the charger price considering I've got other smarter chargers that will charge just about anything ever thought of for batteries and it costs about a quarter of th...Leave a comment:

Cheers Ian. Good point, probably better just using the crank battery and hoping to not get it down too low, and using the jump starter if it does draw it down too low. The low battery cut out is supposed to stop at 12v on high setting, which I think...Leave a comment:

Could you make those spark plug lead clips out of a bit of plastic? I can't remember how they attach on, but from memory they aren't complicated. My mind just goes to grinding some grooves in a bit of throw away plastic and a hole to bolt downLeave a comment:

These are the ones that are designed to fit directly into the brass monkey freezers, got a hole specially for them.
I was thinking of doing what your saying though, just a small separate lithium for fridge when I'm not driving much. I'm...Leave a comment:

Sweet. Painful part to find normally I imagineLeave a comment:

Yeah, I didn't like the wheels and handle at all. First thing I checked in the shop. The wheels pop out, designed that way it appears and the salesman was impressed with the new info he learned about it when I did that, and the handle is held on with...Last edited by disco stu; 5 days ago.Leave a comment:

Cheers grumpmeister. Can't afford Apple premium prices. NFT5 almost has me convinced to install linux, which I'll get around to one dayLeave a comment:

Jaycar 40l fridge freezer $240
Just picked a fridge freezer from jaycar for $240. Rovin brand, but apparently the same as the brass monkey just branded for RTM.
Solar input and battery connection, but the batteries are extremely pricey for what they are-around the same...
