All I want is a 6spd manual be nice if it was available with all engine choices... guess I'll take which ever one offers it.

Gosh, 0.5 kWh doesn't seem like that much for such a big battery. The one in the 2012 Buick Lacrosse in the video I posted looks physically huge, like maybe 4 or 5 times the size of a standard car battery.Likely possible, and many are configured for additional accesory support, but.. again.. we would need to wait and see the setup.
You might be able to draw off of a provided port directly from the converter, or else tap a fuse rather than drawing from the 12V and charging from the 48V.
BTW, one thing to remember though is that its only about 0.5 KWhr usually, so not a lot of power, but good for one or two items overnight.
Have you ever seen the size of a 6v golf cart battery? Same as my cars 12v. 6 of the 6v allwired up in series makes mine a 36v cart, the 48v ones have 8 of themGosh, 0.5 kWh doesn't seem like that much for such a big battery.

Yeah, but thatās because of all the material the Li-ion has to exist in and all the support system not to explode / catch fire.Gosh, 0.5 kWh doesn't seem like that much for such a big battery.

Yeah, I worked out that the Odyssey Extreme battery that fits in the JK is about 0.8 kWh.Yeah, but thatās because of all the material the Li-ion has to exist in and all the support system not to explode / catch fire.
Also, likely an average Deep Cycle battery will possibly have more raw capacity, as the basee BlueTop Optimas are like 50Ah which is like 0.6KWH, and top ones around 75Ah or around 0.9KWhr.

Thanks, I will do some research into those.And again all the support and control systems.
There are a lot of portable Battery Based āEmergency Generatorsā often 1KWh or more for under $1,000 and even half that for not so āprominentā brands.
Plus there also seems to be a bunch of solar storage banks for RVs that would fit the bill too and can charge off DC 12V, AC, and Solar.
Here are some reviews and comparisons of the Pentastar Wrangler vs the older one:I had a 2010 Unlimited and a 2011 2 door - and I remember even the 2 door felt like a dog with the old motor...I never drove a 2012 or newer - is the Pentastar a huge leap? The 2011 2 door felt like it couldn't get out of its own way.
Anybody that prefers a manual these days, from the majority of car manufacturer, is in the minority. Iām in the same boat as you, I want a diesel manual 2 door; will have to settle for the Pentastar if thatās the only option.I'm in the exact same boat, trying to follow all the updates, pics, specs etc. I'm concerned about one thing, the diesel. If there's no manual with it, and no 2 dr diesel, then I'm pushed towards the Pentastar V2 with the manual. I'm sure I'm in the minority, but I like manuals much better than autos. Gotta see those Diesel Specs, so I'm waiting till March 2018 for any decisions.
What happens in March concerning any diesel production? I havenāt read anything other than the supposed diesel production in August ā18.I'm in the exact same boat, trying to follow all the updates, pics, specs etc. I'm concerned about one thing, the diesel.

No perceptible loss of acceleration with 35ā or larger tires, aftermarket winches, bumpers, etc.Diesel, because #torque
A "huge" leap if you consider it's like going from a basset hound to a beagle. We're definitely not talking greyhound here!I had a 2010 Unlimited and a 2011 2 door - and I remember even the 2 door felt like a dog with the old motor...I never drove a 2012 or newer - is the Pentastar a huge leap?
