So after testing the one I purchased last week for $149 and being impressed, I went back down to the green shed armed with a photo that Tryagain posted at post #143 showing a price of $75. I went to the returns counter and asked about whether I could get another at that price ($75). The girl on counter looked at the photo, put a few numbers in the computer and said go grab  another for no cost.

So effectively she gave me a 50% refund on the original $149 price and charged the 2nd one at $74. No money changed hands.
Happy solar camper😀

There may be two versions. Mine came with an adapter from powerpole to alligator clamps. Others might have got an updated version with powerpole to 50A Anderson so that it goes straight onto the powerpack.

Not listed in the parts list unfortunately. Not a big deal.

I've been having a bit of a play with the panels and battery packs this morning. plugged one panel into a battery pack a put it out in the sun. Input into the b/pack was up around 14.5 - 14.7. Unfortunately the display only show amps when hooked up to 240v. So not sure of amps output on panel. The other battery pack I put on 240v charge overnight. I opened it up this morning and fitted an anderson plug for my fridge. Plenty of room inside the case for extra cabling, circuit breakers etc. The pack runs 2 x 22a/h batteries. With mods to the inside of the case you might be able to fit larger batteries if needed. The wiring going to the cig. and merit plug is small. I wouldn't run a fridge of it but that's just my opinion. Anyway, it's currently running my 80L Primus fridge at zero degrees, pre-cooled on 240v prior to swapping to the battery pack. We'll see how it goes.
Cheers, Mike.

What did you pay for the battery pack?

[Coolblue80]

What did you pay for the battery pack?

$90 each

[D4D]

$90 each

Hmmm I'd pay $90, lowest local Bunnings would go is $150...

[wakychapmans]

$90 each

asking a big favour here...

but you ahem... wouldn't happen to ahem... you know... have a copy of that receipt for the battery pack would you?

and if you *did* just happen to have it... would you be prepared to share it?

it would certainly make haggling with my local Bunnings somewhat easier...

I wonder what the Myswag collective companion solar panel tally is up to?

[jmorgan1981]

I have 2. Brother in law got them for me at $149. Can't complain about that.

Someone cleaned out the last 9 at Bunnings Pakenham on Friday. They were all sitting in a trolley with a power pack after a phone order.
