SIZE 9.5”x 6.9”x 7.44” (242.5x176x189mm) Group 24 equivalent 

GROUP SIZE 24, 78, 51RGroup 24 compatible physical dimensions & 24F terminal orientation. Cranking power (CCA rating) & usable deep cycle capacity is much higher than a lead-acid battery of the same group size. Group 24F 24R 24H 24T 26R, 51R, group 78 battery compatible. 51R compatible 

ENERGY 720 Watt-hours (Wh)

WEIGHT: 16.5 lbs (7.5 Kg). 65% lighter than a SLA or lead battery. 1/4-1/2 the weight of a normal car battery. 

INTERNAL EVEN-HEAT TECHNOLOGY: Increases performance in extreme cold. When charging the battery in temperatures below 0°C/32°F DL’s internal heating element will warm the cells to 0°C/32°F. This increases the lifespan, performance, and efficiency of the battery. 

DUAL PURPOSE USE: Multi-purpose use as a deep cycle battery and/or as a starter battery for starting gasoline engines. Marine Outboards: Please refer to your manufacturer recommendations 

CERTIFICATIONS: All DL batteries are UN38 certified. Dakota Lithium’s cells are UL1642 certified and have been tested per IEC62133 standards. Meets all US & International regulations for air, ground, train, & marine transport. 

If solar panel is disconnected, the battery should last up to 5 weeks if fully charged. 🔋🔋

200W Flexible Solar Panel

AllPower’s flexible panel is constructed with top-grade, lightweight polymer materials, allowing for easy transport and installation.  IP67 rated.

Group 27 Commerical Grade Battery Box 

The HM327BKS Snap-Top Battery Box is a battery storage solution for sizes Group 27 Automotive, Marine, and RV batteries. It features locking tabs to fasten the cover securely to the battery case, reinforced plastic handles to prevent cracking during battery relocation, and allows adequate ventilation of battery acid vapors. This rugged battery box maintains its impact properties down to minus 20°F, as well as, resistant UV, oil, gas and other contaminants. Perfect installation in a car, boat, camper, motorhome, trailer, or caravan, as well as, generator equipment. 

30A Solar Charge Controller with BT 

The Renogy Adventurer is a 30A PWM solar charge controller that integrates efficient PWM charging to increase battery life and improve system performance. Designed with a simple interface for ease of use, the controller uses multiple LED indicators to notify users of charge status and battery information. This newly improved model has two advanced features: an RS232 port and Lithium battery charging. With the addition of the RS232 port, users can now connect and communicate with the Renogy BT-1 Bluetooth module. By adding the BT-1 to the Wanderer-Li, you can now use the smartphone app, DC Home, to monitor and adjust your solar system remotely. With the inclusion of the Lithium Battery Mode, the 30A negative-ground controller is now capable of charging various 12V battery types and banks, including most 12V lithium models available on the market. 

KEY FEATURES 

● Optimized for a 12V system; Deep cycle Sealed (AGM), Gel, Flooded and Lithium battery option ready. (Please set the voltage manually to charge lithium batteries.)

● Smart 4 Stage PWM charging (Bulk, Boost, Float, and Equalization) and temperature compensation increases battery life and improves system performance. 

● Intelligent protection against reverse polarity, overcharging, short-circuit, and reverse current. Multiple LED indicators for easy to read charge status and battery information.

● The integrated RS232 port can work with the BT-1 Bluetooth module to deliver real-time energy data across the DC Home smart phone app & Renogy ONE M1 

10AWG Solar Wire 

● High/Low temperature, designed for outdoor use and is moisture, corrosion resistant and waterproof for IP67

● Material: The Cable is made of heavy duty 10 AWG wire, solar cable is made with pure copper, which has the characteristics of good flame retardancy, self-extinguishing, high strength, abrasion resistance and corrosion resistance

● Features: solar cable is designed for outdoor use and is moisture, UV and corrosion resistant. The wiring is weatherproof and designed to withstand extreme heat and cold 

10AWG Battery Cables 

● COPPER CLAD ALUMINUM (CCA): High quality stranded CCA wire offers strong power transfer performance, while remaining lightweight with maximum flexibility. CCA wire offers uncompromised quality at an economical price. Depending on the power transfer necessary, consider Installgear's premium Oxygen-Free Pure Copper (OFC) wiring options. 

● RUGGED PVC JACKET FOR MAXIMUM FLEXIBILITY & DURABILITY: Low memory, flexible soft-touch jacket material is perfect for routing in hard to reach places. Highly durable automotive grade wire (GPT) is resistant to extreme temperatures, liquid, oil, gas, abrasions and high impact. 

● EASY POLARITY IDENTIFICATION: Differently colored jackets allow for easy polarity identification to prevent polarity mistake issues that can lead to potential audio equipment damages. 

Outdoor Exterior AC Plug/Socket: 

● AC Port Plug - A 125-volt power inlet socket with an integrated 16-inch outdoor extension cord for a car, boat, marine, truck, trailer, pickup, RV, industrial and electrical applications. 

● Waterproof - A rugged, waterproof ac electrical power inlet receptacle featuring a pressure fit rubberized cover rated for outdoor use and protects against the elements.

● Peak Performance - Rated at 15-amps with heavy-duty 14 AWG copper wiring to maximum power flow and full-sized AC port prongs for maximum conductivity.

● Plug-N-Play - A simple flush mount flanged power inlet that's easy to install, requiring zero cable modification or hand wiring, and mounts into a 2-inch hole size.

● Multiple Uses - An outdoor extension cord designed for various uses, including onboard battery chargers, bumpers for engine block heaters, outdoor electrical outlets, and more.
