High Tech Cooling For Summer Picnics And Camping
Wednesday, 12. June 2019
Dometic.com has developed a new tech portable battery to plug all of your technology into including portable fridges and freezers. In their words, they have developed ‘the most advanced battery technology on the market’ to keep all your kit charged and powered.
Their heavy duty unit, the PL40 uses a 40Ah LiFePo4 (Lithium Iron Phosphate) power pack which the makers claim can deliver a stable output for longer than lithium-ion versions. The Swedish makers claim that it is also the lightest and most powerful battery in its class.
It comes with a range of outputs including twin USB slots for charging, phones, laptops and tablets. But the main role when camping, picnicking or on holiday is to power something like one of Dometic’s cool and freezer boxes via its 12v socket. It can run one for up to 40 hours.
It has a built-in LCD display which shows charging and output status. There’s also a sturdy handle for easy carrying. There are three ways to charge the unit. From mains power at home, via the 12v socket in the car or with a solar panel once you’ve arrived at your destination.
Dometic has also released a new range of inverters that turn 12v into mains power. The Sinepower DSP-C Series delivers up to 2,000w from the car battery and can charge it when plugged into the mains. There are three models, starting at £129. See their website at www.dometic.com By Graham Hill
