I use it around the home and when I go on Road trips and well as use it in my RV Trailer, What makes this one standout apart from it's tuning abilities is that it came with a pair of 18650 batteries and you can also power it from 4x D Cell batteries so in a powerout or off grid you can always...

I bought the New Tecsun S-2200x for SW and Ham listening which is the update for the Tecsun S-2000 and I also bought 6x Baofeng AR-152 Mil Type HT's along with multiple Antennas to suit the Range required, The reson behind buying the AR-152's is the huge 12,000mah battery capacity and I have...

In February last year I added the Marathon GSAR-NGM Automatic to my collection and it is very Accurite, Depending how I set it down at night It will not gain or loose any time what so ever or I can make it gain 2 to 3 seconds per day, Doing this it sort of self regulates and never needs adjusting.

In the past 9 months One of my Dometic Fridges has an issue where it won't turn off, and the fridge has had less than 3 or 4 months total runtime, And Two days ago One of my Dometic PLB40 Power Station's has decided it won't charge after 10 or 12 uses It won't reset and the screen says it is...

I did read it, But when you say Truck Campers Are you talking about the Slide On Campers or similar?. And I do use small to medium Sogens in my Van/MPV/Camper or my RV Trailer as well as at home and I use them for running AC everything, The chances are if it is in "Your" Home then I have a Low...

It's funny how you tell people the AC180 and AC180P and the AC200L are not Good When they are the Number One Selling and most wanted Sogens on the Market Globally, yet on your "Good" list two of them have them worst parasitic consumption of any Sogens made as well has having poor usable...

The whole Idea of having both leads plugged in originally came from people who Live off Grid or in RV's or even bugout situations, In that with both leads plugged in at the same time is for when the Grid goes down or a Generator runs out of fuel the Fridge should Automatically Switch over to 12v...

Yep for sure, It really annoyed me because I have a lot of Dometic products, In the past 3 - 4 years alont I have bought 3 of their fridges and 2 of their Dometic PLB 40 SoGens which all have been fantastic products, I went to a big camping Expo and saw the newer CFX3 range and due to all the...

After reading this thread and many others I don't understand why people keep buying the CFX3 Series fridges from Dometic, There have been Hundreds Upon Hundred of CFX3 Owners who have had seious issues with them, The Original CFX was a Good Fridge but the CFX3 Series are Rubbish, Because...

To Answer your question , Yes they are worth it, and regardless of what the industry calls them they have hundreds of uses, From camping to Off Grid Living to supplying power at a job site or remote location, as well as PowerOuts, As well as Aux Power from Vehicle to vehicle and RV's, Boats...

Because modern vehicles are fitted with smart alternators and the BMS in the AGM tells the Alternator what to put out to prevent over charging, Regardless of what "Was" for many years with modern vehicles require very stable voltage due to the amount of computers they have in them and all these...

It's the same with AGM's you can't blast them because of the BMS, My new vehicle came with an AGM as the starter battery and it does not matter if I use a 26A smart charger or a 15A one it just won't have it and when it gets real low the chargers will coarse charge it in 6 to 8 hours then they...

No not quite, The Charge Rate in Limited by the Upper and Lower limit Voltage and Amps that is preprogrammed in to the BMS after the Cap/Limit is reached the battery will not charge any faster than it is programmed to do, All of My SoGens are setup by the factory to except the Volts/Amps that...
