Pretty much directed at Trev but if anyone else has any input im all ears.
-I have identified a HUGE market for 12V or 24V 40-120AH batteries for the Aussie 4x4 market, looks like no one has a product out there right now but the potential is massive.
given the AUD currently at ripper rate and Thundersky batts at an all time low $/AH.
perhaps now is the time to get on and start making a few.
Simple criteria
-should be able to work as jump starter
and charge off a std 80-120W folding solar panel and run a 40L engel type fridge for a couple of days with no sun
what do you reckon it would cost?
around the $800-1000 mark I reckon they'd go out the door as fast as I could make em.
also if we could do the dual battery type thing as an all in one (like the thumper)
then even better.
Given the LifePo4 is good for almost 100%DOD vs 50% for a lead acid perhaps could even get away with 40AH and 80W PV with MPP tracker.
Luck favours the well prepared
