RV FEATURE
This unit has a decent amount of USB points .
The high-contrast LCD screen provides information regarding the battery state of charge , any load on the battery ( displayed in watts ), any power input ( in watts ) and time remaining . It ’ s straightforward and easy to understand .
Naturally , the battery has a connection for a solar panel , too – there ’ s an MPPT solar regulator built in .
One of the things that BMPRO says sets this battery apart is the fact it can be charged off a DC outlet in the car during transport . Before departing for home , I plugged it into the car to see what sort of charge rate I ’ d get . The battery was on 20 per cent state of charge before departure and , in the 2.5 hours it took to get home , the battery had recharged to 35 per cent , charging at about 117W or roughly similar to what you might get from a solar panel in decent sun .
It certainly appears to be a robust product , too . The casing is made of ABS plastic . It is good and solid , and at no stage did I feel like I was handling something delicate . But at 16kg , it is a little hefty . I was easily able to wield it around my campsite , but you ’ d want to factor it into your payload calculations , if applicable .
