morning every one,
was in super cheap yesterday an saw a battery pack, big unit with a 40 amph battery inside, all the bells and whistles for $399, does anyone know what one i'm talking about and can you give me a run down on them, : are they any good etc... a 120 amph battery would be better but just thought about the unit to start with. cheers
Peter

What are you going to use it for?
If it's for running a couple of lights or so at night then I guess it will be alright. For anything bigger like a fridge you will have to get a bigger battery.

I agree with Troll. I have a bushranger with a 40amph battery and it is ok for running lights and the odd bit of equipment ( like a laptop using an inverter). At a pinch it can run your fridge for some hours but you are far better doing that from a dual battery system.

For less money I just brought a Deep cycle 110amph battery and a battery box. I looked at all those things and they seem to be just a waste of money

I wouldnt discount these things entirely. I bought a $70 job at
Autocrap when it was discounted to $40. Not sure of the capacity, but it ran a flouro every night for 5 weeks & a bilge pump shower for the same period & only required charging a couple of times through the supplied 12v charger. Cheap source
of power I thought & usable anywhere you can carry it, not just
right next to the vehicle. I wouldnt pay $400 for one but the
budget end of these things are very useful.....oldbaz.
