![]() The 48-volt unit uses 6 watts and pushes 8 CFM with a 360° maximum change of direction.ĭimensions: 4" diameter x 10" long, with a 3" PVC pipe socket on the inlet and outlet. Dimensions: 4" diameter x 7.25" with a 2" PVC pipe socket on the inlet and outlet. The 12/24-volt unit uses 3 watts and pushes air at 6 CFM with a 360° maximum change of direction. Fan can be operated from the auxiliary relay on a Xantrex XW inverter, from the auxiliary relay of an OutBack FX inverter (use 12 volt-fan for all OutBack inverter voltages) or by a voltage controlled switch (sold separately). Designed for battery banks under 2200 Ah and charge rates under 125 amps. When connected to a voltage-controlled relay, the fan operates only when the batteries are being charged and blows gas vapors out. The Power Vent contains a gravity-operated damper that normally stays closed.

The Power Vent controls battery box venting, removing hydrogen gas while reducing cold air infiltration into the box. When heat rises in the structure, a low pressure area forms around the box, cool air flows into the box and gases vent into the structure. A vent that solves this problem is especially important when battery boxes are placed in basements, garages and sheds. But if the battery box is left open to vent gas in cold climates, the batteries get too cold and battery capacity is significantly reduced. I’ll take you through all aspects of the build so anyone should be able to put one together.Lead-acid batteries produce hydrogen gas when charging. The build isn’t very difficult it does however require a little knowledge of electronics and some basic soldering skills. Nothing better than to have a hot shower after a couple days camping!), blow-up mattresses, charge up my portable speaker and phone, and whatever else that needs power. I use the power pack to run the shower (yes I have a portable, hot water shower. However I will add another step so show you how I did this soon I added these as an afterthought so you won't be able to see them in the images below. You can also charge the battery via a couple of lugs that stick out the side. Lastly, I added a mains power switch to make sure the battery isn’t drained when not in use. To regulate the power from the panel, I used a solar panel regulator. Many inverters and charge controllers have a 12 volt powered. An 18v solar panel ensures that it is kept charged throughout the camping trip and there is also LED lighting on the side with a dimmer. The Power Vent can be easily installed in a battery box vent system using 2 inch PVC pipe. ![]() These trays are custom built with rubber pads, mounting screws and battery strap. The battery pack runs off a 12v, SLA battery and has 3 outlets, one 12v cigarette outlet and 2 USB. Custom built battery trays for Ionic Lithium Batteries. So, after being inspired by a build my youngest brother did, I decided to build myself a battery pack that would last the whole time I was camping, was portable and also practical. 12V Battery Box Portable Grab your Adventure Kings Battery box, drop in your Kings Deep Cycle battery, connect the two wires inside and you can have 12-volt. ![]() Usually I’d just use the cars 12v outlet but I find this a hassle, especially if you have to charge your phone at night. Camping these days usually means bringing along things that need power.
