If you’re keen to start playing around with solar panels, but don’t really know where to start when it comes to charging regulators, inverters, and batteries, then the 7Ah Portable Solar Power Pack is pretty useful. The power pack includes a 7Ah lead-acid battery, and you just connect any 12V solar panel to charge the internal battery. The power pack includes the right electronics to handle the correct charging current, making it really easy to get started.
When you want to use the power pack, you just connect your small devices via a standard USB lead to charge them up. You can also use the 12V cigarette lighter socket as you would in any vehicle. If you have mains-powered devices (240V ac), then you can run those from the power pack too. Between the USB socket, the 12 cigarette socket, and the inverter socket, there’s very little you can’t run from this power pack! As long as you draw less than 100W from all of the sockets, you’re safe.
If that’s not enough features for you, then you can also add another 12V sealed lead acid battery to the back of this power pack! The powerpack will handle the charging and the voltage conversions for you. The power pack retails for £69.99, but at the time of writing, the powerpack is available in a special offer for only £49.99.
