I will be travelling Oz for 6 months next year. I am looking for a portable power solution to power a laptop and tv and small lights. Does anyone have any experience with the Bushranger Power Tanks? Pros & cons. How they compare to other systems. Also, has anyone any recommendations for an inverter for the laptop, as it seems that to be safe I will need a true/pure sine wave model.
Thanks

I have had a Bushranger for a while now. They are very good at what they do, and I have even run my Engel fridge from it for 24 Hours !!! As the power gets down it also sets off an alarm ( which is a musical tune ), so that will surprise you sometime in the middle of the morning. It has a torch built in as
well, which is quite good and will last a long time. They are also handy to keep topped up, if you need a jump start so this is also quite good. They do however take quite a while to charge up, so you will need to keep this in mind. You won't need a "Pure SineWave" inverter for the laptop, as the switchmode supply will clean up the power up for you. Cheers, Andrew, Outback Oz.
