RV FEATURE
The BMPRO unit comes with four in-built AC points .
According to BMPRO , this battery is good for up to 2000 cycles in which the battery is discharged to 0 per cent state of charge . That ’ s eight times the lifecycle of a standard lead-acid battery . So while this battery is absolutely more expensive than a lead-acid deep-cycle battery , it ’ s important to factor in a ) the fact that this battery will last significantly longer ; b ) the inverter is already built-in , so you don ’ t need to buy one separately ; and c ) the convenience of having it as an allin-one unit complete with separate power outlets . That last point alone makes these units worth their weight in gold , especially when camping and the last thing you need is to go digging around for an adaptor or the leads to connect an inverter .
Having the battery meant having my fridge , which meant the ability to cook a fresh stew on the coals .
