It has grab handles which are awkward but a grab handle to lift it from above would be helpful particularly given its weight with a battery in it - is difficult to carry as is but a simple handle on top would work well. There are no tie down points on the unit and it bounces around in the car.
Hello there. 😁 can you charge your engel battery box to your cig socket and at the same time charge your fridge thru you engel? ( while you car is running of course) cheers
It's just the box. You still need to buy the battery separate. A 120Ah battery will cost around $350, so in total it will add up however its a good source of back up power at home during a blackout not to mention while out on camping trips.
Excellent rundown on the Engel Battery Box. I get a lot of my info from the net, and little films like this are invaluable. Thanks.

I brought a Hardkorr Mounting tray from BCF and fitted it to the rear of my Ranger and use the straps to hold in place
@@craigroberts3483 Yes great if you want to mount it permanently but is supposed to be portable but does not have adequate handles for this.
@@joeblow3823 it is portable small tray mounted to the floor with a quick release strap
It has a inverter,how about a charge controller?Is an additional charge controller needed when charging off a solar panel?

Can I plug my solar panel straight in or do I need to connect it via a regulator, for example an mppt or pvm regulator????
If you plug in to your vehicle via DC-DC, is there an isolator to stop the starter battery being drained flat once the engine is off?
No there’s not
I'm going to email for info, the movie in that respect does not really do the product honor. But it looks pretty epic so far.
Is the charger to use during at home is included? Or buy it seperately?
It is included in the box when you purchase
am in Kuwait I need one of this box
The investor is not big enough. Need at least 300w
Does it come with a battery?

You need a regulator
or just get a simple 12/24 volt car/truck cigar lighter inverter for 50$ ? :D
