I have a little 40ah Flexopower 444 but I wanted a back up with more juice.
So I got this stuff:
reBel 100ah in plastic box-should've gotten the metal boxed one as I could have used the smaller Target 12" milk crate.
Dropped the $ on a Victron Smart controller. 100/20 48v (can do 24v and 12v as well)
ABS plastic box to house:
Blue Sea 6 circuit with ground fuse box
2x12v cigarette ports and 1 USB port, Anderson SB50 mounted connector
12' 10ga extension fro Battery to remote box with SB50 connectors.
A Powerwerx 4 pole Anderson Distribution block. (used as a solar panel combiner into the Vic. SCC)
2 Renogy 100 watt panels. 1 older suitcase in glass and 1 newer, flexible/foldable lightweight version)
Both the reBel battery and the Victron have bluetooth to control and monitor.
Nothing fancy here but I can expand and shrink as I like.
Semi-permanent install to the crate so I can play around with it.
I chose not to have an inverter. I use almost exclusively 12v appliance and very few at that. (Dom CFX50, mattress warmer, some string lights, some USB recharging)
And the Flexopower 444 has AC if I bring a PC that has a 110v charger.
My only regret, as I said earlier, I would have bought the reBel 100ah in the metal box as it's a smaller box but, I can't resist a sale.
