[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 615821, member: 3775"] Well done and Congrats, Cool sounds like you bought the right one, the 500 to 1000Wh are the best ones to buy because they can be charged from the Ciggy socket giving you 3 options once these solar Battery packs get over a 1000Wh they can't be charged from the Ciggy Socket because the Amp/Current Draw is too high and some of them take up to 18-24 hours to charge even from 300w of Solar or you have to use AC power or a Genny to charge them back up. These little mid sized ones punch well above their weight and once you have done your test you will wonder how on earth they do it, I would not adapt the Compressor plug to run off it because they draw way too much power, But it will be interesting to see how fast it charges from the Ciggy socket or a 100/120 panel, Mine averages around 17 to 17.5% per hour so at around 50% DOD it takes about 2.8 hours or 2 hours 48 minutes and to fill up and from their 80% DOD as stated in the manual it takes about 4,5 hours or 4h 30 mins to back up to 100% again. Anyway keep us up to date with how it goes, Good luck. [/QUOTE]
