Awesome 3-in-1 Battery Bank - How I done It -

[Dellmassive]

I've just noticed your one looks to have the UK safety shutters on the live and neutral pins of the socket / . . . . ?

maybe thats why no covers? - an upgrade/improvement.

wher as mine are open behind the covers . . . (generic universal socket thing)

HDF0483 . . . Looks like an upgrade to me.

And 20v 3A charger.... think that the same?

But it's still 60w anyway. (W=v*a)

 

[Sturge]

It was delivering 56w, and the USB C charger I have (macbook charger) is giving it 64w, so charging with that at the moment. Subtly different. I'll get it back to 100% and plug in the 240v as the weather is much the same today (maybe slightly cooler) and see how well it does today.

I hadnt noticed the DC output on the other side.

It;'s a great bit of kit. Be good for camping weekends I reckon.

Totally forgot about this, thanks for jogging my memory, just ordered one.

 

[Dellmassive]

Yep I'll be taking both mine to the T6F summer camp / meet in a few weeks time.

Very handy and compact units...

I'm looking at the Monster version they are looking and bringing out.. 4xtimes more power. =)

I bought an Allpowers and it was useless. It would struggle to take a charge and sometimes if you switched the led light on the cooling fan would run (unit had not been in use and had not been charging - so not hot). The fan would not switch off until it was plugged in. It was sent back and after much faffing Amazon gave me a refund through their A to Z Guarantee. I tried to order two different types of Poweroak units from Amazon only for the seller to contact me after several days to tell me it was not in stock. I then had to cross my fingers for a prompt refund. I decided to avoid Amazon and I purchased a PPT powerpack 450+ from Portable Power Technology. Delivery was next day and the unit is fantastic. You get what you pay for.

Hi all,
Really interesting thread, already lots of questions answered

I’ve just joined this forum following buying my first VW van. I am working towards converting to a day van which can be off grid.

My question isare there any portable power solutions that would charge a Dometic fridge whilst also being charged via the 12v during travel? We want to be off grid but have not yet got leisure battery and I’m keen to find a good solution.

Thanks in advance
James

Dell's your man on this. However I suspect cost is the main issue, your going Lithium if you want real portability which will cost a big chunk out of a future leisure battery upgrade.

 

[Bubbashrimp]

Thanks Blitz, will see if @Dellmassive has any words of advice.
I’ve been looking at the Jackery range Portable Power Products - Jackery which look ideal as you can charge them whilst they power your devices. A video on YouTube showed the 500W version powering a Dometic fridge for 60 hours which is pretty impressive -

only issue is they don’t seem to have a U.K. plug version.....

 

[Blitz]

@Dellmassive is defo the power pack king, he has a few . Nice to see you can power from and charge that at the same time.

 

[Dellmassive]

hey @Bubbashrimp & @Blitz

been a bit busy at work . . . . . . so sorry for the delay.

yes the ALLPOWERS in this thread will do that, run the fridge and charge at the same time . . .


if you need more power . . . . . you could make your own battery box.

@Dellmassive @Blitz Thanks for your response, no chance I’d be able to build my own, that’s pretty impressive.

I’ve gone with the 500W Poweroak and Dometic fridge, initially I’m impressed although I still can’t quite understand what extra you get for your money with Dometic compared with other compressor/ cooler solutions at half the price. This said it lasted about 40 hours before cutting off.

Long term I would like to get the leisure battery installed, however I haven’t managed to find anyone who can do it this side of Christmas, any recommendations on here would be good? I’m on the South Coast near Brighton. Thanks again
