They are very practical for some situations, in fact I run my camping fridge as a drinks fridge in my shed using a 200w blanket and use a lead battery storage system in a stand alone setup.

They’re not cheap though and I will be needing to replace the panel and battery soon enough but because I have already forked out the cash for this extravaganza, I may as well try to recoup some of my outlay from these toys.

ps Imagine just how much more electric capacity Oz will need when 30-50% of the road users are driving ev’s.
