I am working with a manufacturer to create what I think is the ultimate power system for overloading, camping and encompassing the entire outdoor lifestyle.
What I have envisioned is a 12V power supply similar to the ArkPak with a few major upgrades to the system. My system will come with LiFePO4 batteries preinstalled rather than bring your own. They system will have a pure sine wave inverter built in and at least two 110V outlets. Although I do not necessarily feel they are that important I know a lot of people do there will be a couple USB ports as well. There will also be 2 or 3 12V cigarette lighter plugs as well. Now to the unique stuff that I haven't been able to find anywhere else. I have found a source that can provide a 30 amp DC-DC charger, solar MPPT charge controller and battery isolator. There will be two 50AMP Anderson Plugs for charging and supplying power to accessories.
The system would be a true plug and play dual battery system able to charge from 12V plug in, AC wall charger, DC-DC charger from your alternator and solar. The unit will be fully self contained and neatly packaged so the only thing needed to install would be attaching the wires to the truck battery and plug in the Anderson plug and fasten it down. I plan to even provide the wiring for the installation.
As of right now I am planning on two sizes 100AH and 200AH units. Tentative measurements will be about 17x10x13 and 55 pounds for the 100AH and 17x10x17 and 88 pounds for the 200AH unit.
My question for you guys is what am I missing? What other features would y'all like to see and what would y'all throw out? And what kind of value does a system like this have for you?
Although this is very fluid right now the preliminary costs for the units would be approximately $1500 for the 100AH unit and $1900 for the 200AH unit. Although that seems like a lot of money on the surface When you total up what all of the separate parts would cost with quality equipment it is much less. Using one of the most popular battery options, BattleBorn, the two batteries alone would cost as much as the entire 200Ah system. Then when you throw in the chargers and everything else we will include you get a much better value than building your own system would provide.
Please provide any feedback, interest and suggestions you guys may have for me.
