I am kayaking/rafting the Grand Canyon in January, and need electricity to power my CPAP breathing machine overnight. I have a Jackery Explorer 500, considering upgrading it to the Explorer 1000, and a cheap 120 watt foldable panel. I would like to find a way to have the panel deployed on a raft...

I don’t think heat is going to be that big an issue at the charging rates I’m looking at - in my tests so far this panel has only produced 7-10 watts in shady conditions like what we expect most of the time in the canyon, up to 70 in direct sun which we won’t have much of. All of the boxes I’m...

Thanks. I wish I could find a straight DC option, but I can’t seem to find any large DC battery packs without an inverter; the DC only ones seem to cap out at around 60 watt hours. Basically the only things out there DC only are lead-acid batteries, and they’re just no good for power density -...

Generators are illegal in the Grand Canyon.

I posted previously about my plan to rig solar panels to a raft on the Colorado River, and upon further research and poking around I realized the solar panel I have has a cable terminating in an Anderson Power Pole connector, with an adapter to the round plugs for the different brands of battery...

If you have a way to connect the power wires to a battery inside a sealed Pelican case without drilling, by all means share it as that’s the primary purpose of this post. Leaving the box open to connect power while on the river would completely defeat the purpose of the box and I might as well...
