Its by no means a perfect system compared to the standard camper electrical setup of leisure batteries, split charge, solar ect as there is some significant compromises to be made using Powerstations, but the main advantage is complete modularity & flexibility.

i use the HIGH mode on my van when im using the long extension lead. . . as this causes some volt drop.
so the HIGH mode overcomes the volt drop so the battery charges correctly.

Hello again,
Well the man who jump started my van put the clamps on the positive and negative battery terminals (see photo), he was a qualified mechanic and he used a portable booster pack for source (not another car) .......was this wrong

or the wired quick discounects?
whatever you use, make sure you dont use the battery NEG post - use the light bracket or other chassis NEG. .
set it to AGM battery mode for the T6 starter battery.
