Recently in the press release section a" Battery Current Saver Device" was advertised, the press release stated there was less amperage draw on the battery when using a 12V fridge/freezer. I have a 70lt Bushboy fridge/freezer and I think the unit may save power when my vehicle is stationary for a few days.
I was wondering if anyone had purchased or used one, and if so your comments.

John, purchased one recently, haven't used it yet, but after reading
test results from Uni of WA, and speaking with Fred the bloke that makes them, felt it needed a trial.Still setting up my camper, but will trial it shortly and report when it is running. Not much help to you at the moment though!

John, thankyou for your prompt reply.
Could you forward results from the Uni of WA if possible.
I have to replace my deep cycle battery and I think I will use a Yellow top Optima, so I hope the BCS will give longer running times when camped.
I look forward to your trial report.
Regards
John

John
could you please pass on the site details that you two were talking about - the BCS seems like a good idea.
