Good to see a producer standing behind their products and the manufacturer standing behind his Batteries 🔋 incase the table gives way hahaha 🤪 . Good episode Phil looking forward to your in car testing I hope ya Roast that battery in a cooking sense 👍👍
Two roasts sitting inside the car fridge. Ready and waiting.
Great looking batteries if you can afford them definitely worth the price and Aussie assembled win win great interview phil 👍
Thanks Steven.
Great video..
Quality in a product un matched.
No doubt passing off the larger company's.
Yes. Top quality
Nice futures there Phil, impressive batteries.
Yes, agree the features these battery's have are very impressive.
Lovely Work
Thanks Craig
good to see a local assembled battery, but does powerpaul batteries have the right insurance if he has a faulty battery, not talking about warranty but if one failed does paul company cover you if my caravan burnt down.
6 year warranty. I don't know about the insurance part that you need to talk to your insurance.
Just wondering with the new lithium installation laws is it now illegal to do a system like yours without a sealed compartment that has a vent to the out side of the car. If so lithium inside a car is now alot harder.
From what I understand it is now illegal.
Mine is still legal because I've installed before the law changed.
Where do I find the specs on the batteries, dimensions & weight. Also are they suitable for use in 4wd off-road, Canning, Simpson?
Perfect for 4wd. Specs are on powerpaul Australia Facebook page.
@@PhilsCampingReviews thanks for the reply. I found the specs. I also sent Powerpaul a Facebook comment and the reply about using it on the Canning/Simpson said the battery might need “some mitigation of that vibration.” The iTechworld battery that I need to replace, for more capacity, has handled the vibrations.
Great info Phil. Do you know if these have cranking capability ?
Not that I know of
How do you fit the resistor
There is instructions included with battery on how to use the resistor.
have been using the scout battery for over 2 years now has been as low as 32% still used induction cooker, kettle, and toaster in the morning and can't fault it highly recommend buying one of Paul's batteries..
They certainly are an impressive battery.
Phil Phil Phil, it's amp-hours, not amps, batteries are rated in amp-hours (or watt-hours) not amps!😂
I know that, I just say amps as a short cut.
Me too
👍
How do you fit yours in the back of your car
Easy, It's not much large than a standard battery size.
Very cool Phil great find . I’ll be looking into this and contacting Paul
Awesome, Let him know You seen the battery on my video.
TRying to find this guy? where's he gone?
His still around. Busy making more batteries.
hey phil, can you connect 3 of these in parallel ?
Yes. You can parallel 3. Some are using 4 connected in parallel
G'day Phil, is there a link to Matt's channel with the chinese camper you were talking about
If your referring to the thin battery cable that was used to parallel two battery's together. I'm assuming it was a Chinese made Caravan. Just from my experience.
I've seen it happen on Chinese made camper trailers.
