The RRP is up around $829 but some stores are currently offering the Companion unit for $559  I bought one yesterday !
It can be recharged using the AC adaptor included, by 12volt input (using the cigarette lighter adaptor - also included) or by direct feed from a solar panel (it has a built-in MPPT controller).
It weighs about 6.5 kg |
How much power do you need?
There's this system that includes a portable solar power panel for a reasonable price with an Aussie guarantee / back-up.
