    Flexopower 444 lithium

    I have a dual battery set up with odyssey batteries but I wanted this for back up and portable power. I wanted the lightweight and portability, plus having a small inverter is helpful.

    Interesting concept for a portable Fridge

    This fridge has Lion battery you could recharge while driving or with a solar panels. I wonder how that would compare with just buying a battery pack with a good DC fridge. https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1262227003/lioncooler-the-wolrds-smartest-portable-solar-free/comments

    How are those newer Tacos working out?
