The 'Slim Jim' Base RPS is just 160mm Thick, 780mm Deep and 400mm high... LifePo4 Batteries Can be added ' Plug and Play' Via 2x Inlcuded 175Amp Anderson ports built into the unit. 

The 'SLIM JIM RPS 2000' Does not come with Batteries - We have seen them connected directly to the cranking battery with good results, but we'd reccommend a second Lifepo4 for use. 

 

Charge Time when Plugged into Vehicle and Exposed to sunlight with 400w Solar panel installed is around 3-4 hours from Flat to fully Charged with the Single DCDC model.

 

All Output plugs including the Cig Socket are wired in  individually to allow  them to handle up to  50Amp Current loads, Single Line set up like this also stops single point failure not knocking out other components. 

 

WEATHER RESISTANT BASH RESISTANT BOX: 

3mm Australian Made Aluminium Case - Removable top / sides and face console.  780mm deep x400  High x 145 mm wide

 

RECOMMENDED Battery(s) : 

 The Battery Capacity you need relates to the Inverter size. We'd reccommend as follows:

1200va - At Least 100 amphr -

2000va - At least 200amphr

3000va - At Least 400 Amphr.

 

The Batteries Supplied in the option drop downs are High Quality Slimline AGA batteries. They have oversized BMS - capable of constant load delivery of 150AMp per 100 Amp of Battery Capacity.

 

For tighter storage space requirements, you can opt for twin 100amphr Slimline batteries (in Lieu of a Single 200), these offer incredible performance and even smaller storage requirements. 

Info and specs here - These are included on the options list for the RPS 2000 unit below also


ADDITIONAL Leads Are not included - and will likely be required for typical 4wd use if you don't have them already. 

 

1 x 1m Solar Input cable - RED anderson to Red Anderson

12 Volt Output cables  - GREY anderson to GREY anderson ( for Fridges, Travel Buddies, Compressors etc)

1 x 1m Black to Black Anderson Extension .

75Amp MINIMUM rated DC Wiring Loom from Cranking battery to the RPS, We make and sell these as a kit https://www.toughtouring.com.au/product-page/dcdc-loom-kit-for-renewable-power-station-dual-battery

 

Generator Earth point built into each unit as per Aus Spec... You will need a cable and Spike to use this properly as per Safety regs in Australian Electrial laws.

 

This Box is designed to be weatherproof, however power through fittings cannot be used when wet and water ingress and damage to the unit is unavoidable if submerged.
