[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 626553, member: 3775"] So True, When people make the change to Lithium they will see all the benefits you mention along with those of us who don't have access to the sun where it starts getting dark by 15:30 in the afternoon for 3 or 4 months of the year, Not to mention the rainy days on top of that, Two weeks ago I went away for 3 days running the 35L SnoMaster to keep 60 Snags frozen and all powered from the PLB40/40Ah and at the worst I was down to 70% SOC only because I parked up for a day or so along with plenty of stop starts while sight seeing etc, I just plugged it into the Cigar socket on the way home and it was full in no time, I am going to add an Engel/ARB 2 pin Screw in socket for ease of use and being more secure, Like you I have limited storage space where one 8kg PLB can give me the same usability of 2X 115Ah @ 47.4kgs due to the charging speed, One hour of driving adds over 17% back in to the PLB, I keep thinking about using the Generator but @ over 24kg I just don't need one that big @ 2000w and I would only need to use one in the absolute worst conditions. So I am going to get a smaller one asap. [/QUOTE]
