SLIM JIM RPS 2000 Renewable Power Station
Customer Feedback has encouraged us to design a new housing in a 'Modular' Format to allow RPS 2000 Units to run with either a Single 200Ah Lifepo battery or Dual 200Amphr Lifepo for heavy power use.
The 'Slim Jim' Base RPS is just 145mm 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.
All RPS are Game changers for caravaners and campers wanting to keep vans powered in unpowered sites or in off grid environments - The SLIM JIM Unit Charges via a 30Amp Victron Solar Regulator combined with a Victron 30Amp or 50amp DCDC charger... The Huge Chargers work Simultaniously - Potentially Punching in up to 80Amps per hour.
Its Compact and Mobile / easy to switch between vehicles yet packs real punch as a Solid 240Volt Power supply.
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.
INPUTS:
1x Red Solar Anderson IN :(Accepts up to 800w / 36 Volt solar power Input) - Run Through a Victron 100/30 MPPT Solar Regulator.
1 x 75 Black Anderson for DC in and or Charging Port - Victron 30Amp DC DC charger (can operate at up to 50 Amps)
2 x Apare Grey Anderson IN / OUT for Victron 20Amp /240Volt charger
