[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 616347, member: 3775"] Well done, I thought as much, much of the advertising blub is aim'd at dads with very little DIY skills but when you put these un test they can handle a lot more than the quoted figures, All the PLB sales blub is very muted but the Manual says other wise and then the supplied Items differ again. Yeah some of the Specs on the PLB are about 20% higher than what they Claim too, they Say in the Manual it can't be charged with anymore than 8A but they supplied it with a Charger with 10A stamped on it, It also says that the input voltage is 12v but it is 14.6v using a PWM, So why would you use a PWM when it has it's own DC to DC / MPPT And the input Voltage range is from 8 to 25v, According to the Manual. Also On the PLB Spec page on their site it says it has a temp range of 0 to 50*c, The Manual says 0 to 45*c But I also know of people who have used them at 50*c+. Here's the site page and the Manual is here too, [url]https://www.dometic.com/en-gb/outdoor/uk/products/power-and-control/energy-and-lighting/batteries/dometic-plb40-_-195560[/url] [/QUOTE]
