12V Power Box Review

This is a 12v piwer distribution box, that you can use to supply 12V DC from a power station or battery, to 11 different ports. These include 3 car ports, 4 USB-A, a QC3 USB, and a USB-C with PD 18W/35W. Sometimes, these ports don't actually supply watts as described, and there are many versions of this sold by different vendors. This is an actual hands on review with port testing, so you know this one has been checked by someone not on payroll!

I've ordered this power box and the Redodo mini. Basic question: What do you use to charge the Redodo mini before taking it on the road? I'm new at all this.

I first used a Noco genius5 charger. Lithium batteries have a different charge schedule, voltages and time, than lead acid. The noco can do lithium, and also useful for car battery charging and maintenance. However, it only charges at 5A, maybe a bit more. The redodo 100Ah 12v battery recommended charging at 20-40 A, a higher rate. So I bought a full-up quality charger to let me do all my stuff correctly. Victron Blue Smart 12v 25A Ip67 charger. You can program it with your phone bluetooth, use as a power supply, do all types of batteries, etc. So far so good.

@@dave_in_azi have a slverado with an outlet in the bed that runs 400 watts max. im trying to figure out what i need to charge my dewalt 4 battery fast charger for my tool batteries on job sites with no power. my truck has a tiny factory inverter so i need to figure out what i need to do to run my charger. any ideas that wouldnt empty my bank account?

Not aware of that charger amd how many watts it uses, but it should work when plugged into the 400W truck inverter. Those battery packs don't hold much Watt-hrs, so a 400W charger should work ok? Just drpends what it pulls and how fast is fast enough for you. Good luck!
