Hi all, Just wondering if anyone has bought one of these?
https://www.amazon.co.uk/gp/product/B0CZ9V4BHP/ref=ox_sc_act_title_1?smid=A2RWXGVL........
I thought this might come in handy if we are not on electric hook up. The auto electrician, attached our fridge and other 12v items to the leisure battery and when the van is driven it charges the battery as does the electric hook up.
I thought about getting a flexible solar panel and fitting it to the roof so it can charge the power station.
Can anyone tell me if this would be ok? do you know if these are noisy? I would appreciate and help. Thanks in advance.

It is basically just a battery and static converter, so should not be noisy but will be very inefficient when using the 240 volt outlets.

If you've already go a decent capacity leisure battery then you shouldn't need the power bank as well. Installing solar may well be worth it though.

You shouldn't need one, but if you do buy one from a reputable brand, not a non descript make which is top of search lists on Amazon.

I just want the option to be able to use other items if needed off grid.

What items do you anticipate running from it ?

Hi, Maybe a dvd player, travel hairdryer, hair straightners, charging mobiles. Our tv is 12v and fridge runs off 12v too.
If I buy this power station, we could manage charging this at home and using it on a weekend away, without having to use a hook up.

A hairdryer or hair straighteners will flatten the battery in no time, as will any heat producing items.
Mobile phones use very little power and can be charged from the battery using a car charger.
