Nice review mate, All my dual battery set up in both our Ranger and caravan are from iTechworld every unit has been going strong without fault for over 3 years and we are on the road most of that time leaving for another half lap of Oz next Friday.
You lucky bugger. I wish I was leaving to go somewhere. But I did recently come back from a 7 week SA trip. Yer it was a good unit but I would be interested in looking at the next box down from this one. Enjoy your trip and thanks for watching.
Thanks for the simple review (way to go Pat)...Have seen this one at the various shows and along with all the others being churned out by just about anyone who thinks they can marry a battery and inverter in a box. Not having anderson sockets is a mistake by Itech. Maybe they will sort that out. These will become bigger and hopefully more efficient for domestic use during power outages...Some Chinese boxes are around the 80kg mark and come on a trolley for household use.
$3k to boil a kettle seems a bit excessive though LOL I can see it cound possibly be useful for induction cooking and using a coffee brewer etc but for the dough I think I will stick to gas.
That little plug (the yellow one) is often used for batteries for remote control planes etc. I had LiPo batteries that use that plug to charge up for the old Phantom 1 drone. I haven't seen them on much else though.
Ah, i can finally sit down and catch up with all the videos I have missed while we were on the road. I recently bought one of these things from Aldi (yeah I know Aldi again LOL) and all I have done with it so far is charge it up and stick it in the shed. I don't even know yet what I will use it for. The iTech one certainly has a lot of connections but it looks very heavy from the way you were moving it. Looked at the price of that one and fell off my chair, wow not cheap at all. I got the Aldi one because it was $349 but it is only 600w so much less power and a much smaller battery at 16ah so the itech is 10x the power without being 10x the price. I think I will end up using mostly as a charging station for cameras and phones.
Yes it was heavier than I thought it would be. I had it away with me in SA and was handy for toast. It was also good to know that if my house batteries stopped working I could plug the freezer into it while fixing the batteries. Maybe a smaller one might be more appealing.
