    Conti 300W (Checkers)

    You could always get a 100W solar panel. While camping, plug that in during the day so that you only use the batteries at night. Then you should be fine. That is if there is sun during the day obviously. I got two 160W EcoFlow portable panels, but rarely use it as the 100Ah battery does last a...

    Conti 300W (Checkers)

    Ah ok, well, normal camp fridge uses 50 - 70W, and this one shows 50W so close enough. Do you know if it switches on the cooling permanently, or kicks in every few minutes? The other camp fridges you get, they switch on and off, sometimes you can go 30 minutes without it switching on. (Depends...

    Conti 300W (Checkers)

    I use mine to power camp fridge, lights, charge phones, inflate mattresses etc. Also have a 500W inverter but don't really take that with camping as everything is 12V in any case. MPPT also in the box Planning on building a 20Ah battery box in one of the small ammo boxes as well

    Conti 300W (Checkers)

    Build your own perhaps. Lots of vids on youtube on how to. Get a small "Ammo" box. Get a 18 - 22AH battery Like this, Temu is crazy with this pricing though, they want R1400 and then you still need battery

    Conti 300W (Checkers)

    Camp fridges uses between 20 - 40 amps in 24 hours, depending on ambient temps. That device will never last a weekend unless you use a solar panel (or other means) to charge it as well.

    TakealotMore has shown exceptional growth in recent months

    Suppose it depends how many orders you place I do between 3 - 6 orders a month.... I usually work from 8am to 7 or 8pm, so rarely get time to go to the shops. Weekends are for fishing, braai's etc, so also don't get to the shops then either

    The reason virtual bank cards expire

    I haven't had a physical card in 3 years. The last time my FNB card expired they did not want to deliver to my address for some reason like they always did, so told them to just cancel the card as I am not going to a branch to pick it up. VC works fine everywhere, just don't loose your phone I...

    Your temu orders

    Ordered a few case fans, one fan had a 3 speed setting, but speed setting 1 did not work, setting it on 2 and 3 works fine. Not that I will ever use it on setting 1. Logged return, and seems I get to keep it haha Now I still need to mount it, needs to suck hot air out when solar charger is running

    I have logged two returns in the past 2 weeks after it arrived, both times I just said I don't want it anymore. The product does not need to be faulty or anything. Got refund (not credit) 3 days after the pickup happened.

    Black Friday discounts expected to be lower than in previous years

    Done my shopping already as prices go up for black friday, not down. Last week after buying a battery, I also decided to upgrade my charger from 10A to a 20A charger. Had issues paying on a certain site, phoned them, and was then told, here is our new website, try this. Low and behold, new...

    LifePO4 Battery info

    I see what you mean by the size, mine arrived today, exactly same size as my current 50ah one, but double the weight. Their manual also says it's supposed to be bigger lol. Will charge it up and do a test over the weekend to see if I get 100ah out of it at least

    LifePO4 Battery info

    Yeah I have been looking at batteries for 6 months. Read all the reviews etc. For my 12v battery box I went with the blue geewiz one, the black one only had m6 bolts,(according to the manual) and my cables already crimped for M8 I will only use it once or twice a month, and will only take it...

    LifePO4 Battery info

    I rent so can't install any big setup here where I am. No place for solar panels either so not even a small solar setup. Will probably go solar if I have my own place just to get away from eskom prices Edit: I was also offered a inverter and hubble 100ah battery, for free, so can always use...

    LifePO4 Battery info

    I ordered the battery, should be here tomorrow. For now it will just go into my camp battery box to power a 12v fridge, lights and maybe charge a phone. If load shedding comes back I'll buy a Victron inverter, but not a big one, I only need to power a laptop and screen, so will probably get...
