Thank you Skypower, very informative and helpful.(y)

Hi, I have the KL Series version and wondered what the differences were verses the KH series. One thing I found a little disappointing with the KL Series is that they do not make a shield for the sampler (I am doing a DIY version but would have preferred a factory designed and manufactured...

SeaGal, it is because that I am a neophyte to such equipment that I make poor decisions and choices .? Could I just connect 2 sockets to the buck-boost converter and supply both of my devices that way. Your kind help is much appreciated.

Thank you so much SeaGal, can I impose on you with another question please? I intend to supply another device to take power from the same battery that the buck-boost converter is to be connected to. I attach a photo relating to the device in question, should I use a voltage stabiliser (as...

Hi All and thanks for bearing with me. I purchased the buck convertr I linked to in Post #12, I have not put it to use as yet. I have since read that buck converters can have difficulty maintaining a claimed output voltage (in this case 12v) if the input voltage is at or very close to the...

Thank you, I am learning albeit rather slowly, I really appreciate all the help that I get on here. ???

Is this the type of device you are referring to? https://componentauthority.com/products/8-40v-to-12v-10a-dc-voltage-stabilizer-car-power-supply-regulator-waterproof?currency=GBP&variant=44175211004194&utm_medium=cpc&utm_source=google&utm_campaign=Google%20Shopping&stkn=560cdb9ed581

Hi, Could you send me a link to a 9-40v converter so that I can know for sure what I am looking for, thanks.

Good point, when I am towing the caravan the tow vehicle charges the leisure battery at about 13.8 volts, I will isolate the auxiliary fuse box before driving off, I would make it a point to disconnect the router and stow it before travelling, but one can always forget :rolleyes:.

Cheers for that, I will look into powering the router from a 2.5mm power socket. ?

SeaGal: Power source is 12v DC. Mister Sandals: I don't need to power the laptop\tablet, just the Router only. Horsefly: Your interpretation is correct, and the router requires 12v DC. I'm satisfied that my question has been answered and that a Buck Converter is not a the solution. I will just...

By way of explanation: I want to be able to power an appliance from 12v DC when off grid. I have read that a12v DC Plug and Socket (Cigarette lighter type) is not particularly safe in use. In my case it will be in a caravan (trailer) where I want to power a router for use with my...

I hadn't given any consideration to the car charging the caravan battery and how the wiring is configured. Thanks for this (y)

Thanks mikefitz, you have given me good food for thought there.

Hi MisterB1959 and thanks for the reply. I am using this battery in a caravan, I'm not sure of how feasible\practical it would be to install any of your suggested devices in my tow car, I am more than happy to be enlightened though :) .

Mikefitz, you are obviously better informed than I am. May I ask where you find information such as that above on Fogstar batteries, my searches reveal very little in respedt of reviews or comments relating to Fogstar products. (BTW, I have now put the Victron charger on the top of my shopping...

Thank you mikefitz. I do like Victron equipment, albeit expensive. My battery is a Fogstar 280 amp LifePo4, and ideally as I understand it, a 30 amp charger is a little short of optimal, hence my looking at a 40 amp charger, I was hoping that I might gain adequate control over the charging...

Thanks Hedges, I spent a large part of my childhood living in a house that was heated using peat fires, peat was also a cooking medium (along with bottled LPG for more controlled cooking requirements). I dried peat on bog land ( adults did the peat cutting), carried it out to the track in...

I regret to admit that I do not know what low-grade solar energy is :( . Happy to be enlightened Hedges.

Thank you for the welcome Solarcabin Channel ?

I'm very much into using solar already, the amount of energy I can harvest here (especially in winter) in Scotland is I acknowledge, rather limited. But i get by quite comfortably with my set up, I am about to make a few changes and looking forward to find out what those changes will bring.

Hey! that is very neat, thank you ?

Does anyone have any experience with this charger? (Edit, I linked to the wrong charger, should be the 12v 40amp, the link has been corrected now - apologies.) Fogstar 12 v - 40amp

I'm looking for ideas to construct a lightweight stand for a 180w flexible solar panel, can anyone point me to some solutions? I will be regularly re-positioning it to follow the sun when off grid touring. Thanks.

Just wish to say HI and that I am liking all the useful and helpful information.
