Especially because I MUST have a portable setup.
But ja, not the Bargain of the Century at R 8999...............

Re: My Dual Battery Setup - Help Please
I have the utmost faith in my national luna box with the 25amp DC/DC charger and blue nova deep cycle battery. Charges it up from 30%to full in under 4 hour drive and with the solar panels connected during the day I have endless power. 2 fridges and multiple other 12v things no issues. I think it really depends on the battery you have. Lithium charges way faster than others..Craig Lord wrote: ↑01 Mar 2020 21:43 [Tinus] They dont work ...never seen it charge a battery more than 65% go off grid for 2 weeks and then we will talk again mabe if you drive al the time but they are just horrible imho

Not knocking the brand. Knocking that particular product (being the solenoid-based charging system). When it was introduced (probably more than 25 years ago now), it was pretty much state-of-the-art.
But technology has moved on a lot since then. Especially battery technology.
The solenoid setup still works pretty much as well as it ever did, but it can't keep up with modern high-performance batteries.
National Luna as a brand make magnificent products. Well designed and robust. The system you are talking about, and the one Petri linked to is a new generation. I am sure it works a charm.
