- Hi welcome to craig T's adventures 1st product review.
In this clip i cover a fairly simple overview of the projecta power-hub whilst camping in the remoteness of New south wales at Mutawintji gorge.
For a more thorough review of this product regarding the specs and what the Voltmeter is capable of doing please visit the Link below.

Good one mate
We’ve had ours four years now,and we take it on trips to run the fridge and it does it well.pretty handy when your ruffing it of grid 👍
Thanks for the video!
Just a question, when you turn on the inverter does the inverter button get warm? I just brought one and the inverter button on mine gets quite warm so I’m just trying to figure out if that is normal or if mine is faulty.
You’ll have to add on how you charge it up. Will the vehicle charge it whilst driving, solar or just AC at home. We’ve got a goal zero inverter we use that has all 3 options. We take it on our canoe trips to keep everything charged works great.

Hey there Mr Foreman! Unfortunately I certainly left a lot out of this review. This was done on the spot whilst up NSW.
My next review I will cover all what you have mentioned.
Basically I am going to attach a dc to dc charger to the power pac and run a cable from the starter battery and run it to the dc to dc charger which will continue to charge the battery whilst commuting. When the vehicle is stationary I will connect a solar panel to the DC to DC charger which will also charge the battery when stationary.
Hope that makes sense. 👍👍😂😀
Looks a good bit of gear Craig. Cheers Steve
Mudduck's 4wd Touring Thanks Steve! It certainly did a good job on this trip.
Hey Craig can you use the anderson plug for a 'solar panel In' to charge the battery.Via a solar controller.
Darren
Hello Darren! That is correct mate. The projeca power-hubs built in Anderson plug has the ability to send power out from your battery to supply power to whatever it is you want to power up and it also can be used as an input connection to send charge to your battery which in return recharges your battery.
In conjunction with your question regarding your solar panels! Yes you can apply your REGULATED. solar panel directly onto the Anderson plug which will then send a charge from your solar panel through to the Anderson plug and then onto your battery which will then recharge your battery whilst stationary.
In my case mate I will need my solar panels to be UNREGULATED as I am going to send a charge through to a dc to dc charger which will then flow into my battery and recharge my battery via the dc to dc charger. Having a dc to dc charger will allow me to charge my secondary battery which is placed in the power hub battery pack either stationary or whilst commuting via my starter battery. 😀👍
Hi Craig,
Can this battery run power for dometic fridge 25L? If can how long can run the fridge without charging up the battery? Thank you
Hello Nora.
This certainly supports your dometic fridge.. In most stores, I believe the new dometic fridge comes with standard 12v and 240v cable. There is connection points for both 12v and 240v on the powerhub unit that will enable power to be supplied to your fridge. BCF also sell dometic cables with Anderson plug connectors mounted on the end of the cables. I highly recommend getting one of these as Anderson plugs have a nice secure fitting. Your standard 12 volt connector can often work loose when commuting. There is also an Anderson plug connection socket mounted to the powerhub unit.
The dometic fridge roughly draws 40 - 50 watts out of your battery when running. The powerhub unit has the capacity to draw upto 300 watts, So your fringe will have no problems running from this unit. As for how long it will run, we’ll that will depend on your battery. I recommend getting a deep cycle battery. I can’t give you an exact time but with a deep cycle battery you should roughly get 12 to 18 hrs before it will need to be re changed.
Hope this helps.
Thanks for watching 😀👍
@@craigtsadventures7414 thank you for that Craig. Happy Easter 🙂
Does this box support lithium battery? Can you charge the box using solar while attached to a portable fridge simultaneously? What I'm asking is that could you charge the battery while drawing power to the fridge at the same time. Also vice versa at home using the AC while being plugged to the fridge. Good video bud. Keep it up 👍
Yes it does support lithium batteries. My power pack is continuously been charged through my 12 volt system whilst commuting. My fridge is running through the power pack and keeping the fridge cool at the same time.. This same process can be done whilst stationary using solar panels or your typical 24 volt power supply..
Hope this helps. 👍
Hi mate
Is there a way to charge the power hungry via the cigarette lighter without hard wiring thru the alternator?

Hey Callum! I am certainly a proud Aussie mate, but I think I am a long way from your true blue Aussies! I think your true blue Aussie reside in remote parts of Australia who work pretty much from daylight to dark every day of the week and really wouldn’t have time to make these type of vids. But thanks for the compliment anyway mate
Cheers for watching 😀👍
