Was wondering if "Shaky" could post on to me his schematics on producing/making your own
battery power pack like the waeco power packs but for a fraction of the cost. My email address is surftonic@arach.net.au
I am using a Waeco cf-35 fridge and want to be able to run it via a power pack but also be able to charge the power pack via the rear cig connector and/or a solar panel.
Cheers Mike

G'day Mike.
Mate I don't know how much you want to or can spend on one these Do-Da's or how much time you have to dick around building one, however here is an alternative solution.
Go to:
http://www.transquip.com.au/
And in the search window at the very top of the
home page , type in POWER PACK and hit the search button.
You will see (eventually) a couple of power packs come up.
I have purchased one of these ($205.00) delivered.
It is 600 Cold Cranking Amps (CCA) and throws my 1HZ Diesel over as if it was a 5hp lawn mower.
It has a cigarette socket which I use to power up lights and anything else such as a laptop etc.
I also connect a 600W inverter to it via the jumper leads which I use to run a 450W power drill, and have never had a problem with it
On top of that it comes with a 240V and 12V Car) charging leads.
Transquip is a mail order house in West Aust and it appears that their stock is sourced out of the KingChrome Nat dealer in
Melbourne. About 500 metres from my house.
Being that close means nothing though, still have to go through the Internet crap to get what I want and pay a $10 delivery fee.
I will say though they are very efficient and purchases turn up promptly.
Hope this helps you and a happy new year to you.
regards
Ken Robinson

Cheers Ken looks like a nice compact unit.
Would however like to follow up on the do-das you do yaself to run my fridge for longer periods of time than just 24 hrs. One that I can connect to the car to charge or recharge connected to solar panels. This was mentioned on a
forum here but am chasing up the details to make one if possible.

Thanks Ken for the information.
Looking at the specs for the 2600 it only has 350 CCA, no where near enough to jump start a 110?
