    An alternative to solar when camping?

    Portable Wind Catcher turbine pops up in a claimed 15 minutes

    Overnight charging if there's a breeze. An alternative to solar when camping?

    The vital question is “how much noise does it make?”.

    12 VOLT 55 AMP – Christie Engineering
    No wind required
    Easier to setup
    Faster charge
    Cheaper
    Probably takes up less space
    Just need a small Jerry can of fuel

    Love to see how that thing would have survived at Wombat a few years ago.

    No room in our Disco for it and too long to set up!

    just bought a very high quality 100w lightweight semi flexible panel which fits perfectly at the front of our cargo barrier. Connected to 120A AGM via a Victron charger with Bluetooth monitoring.

    Will report back after next school holidays 😊.
