Laughed so hard hearing Mic's lecture about behaving in his car. He's surely particular about passenger etiquette 😉, nice video as always Dirk, and thanks for taking us along.
Wow....I love the outdoor life and traveling, I wonder if I want to be part of this what must I do because it's seems to be expensive if you don't have means to do so
Great adventure! Quick question: I am planning on doing two-three 7-14 day overlanding trips a year in remote areas with the occasional weekend away. Do I need to spend the bucks on a lithium battery or e.g. AGM? I'm planning on running a 78l fridge with couple of lights at night and charging my phone on trips to Botswana. Cheers Wessel
Hi Wessel. All batteries do the same thing. Store energy to run your fridge and camp lighting when you are not driving, plugged into shore power or using your solar panel. My experience with 100/110 AH Lead Acid Flooded Cell, AGM, Gel and Lithium auxiliary batteries is as follows: 1. Lithium is way lighter if vehicle load and GVM are an issue. 2. My Flooded cell battery would power my camp for about a day and a half working very carefully. At 55 Amps drawn out of the battery, voltage was down to 12,1 Volts. This battery is essentially almost flat. AGM and Gel fared a little better. My Lithium battery delivered 80 AH over a 2 day period, so 20 AH capacity left. At this point it was still delivering 13,02 Volts. 3. My Danfoss powered fridge draws around 2,0 Amps per hour over a 24h period. That's 48 Amps out of the battery which would render a Lead Acid battery almost flat as opposed to a Lithium that could still deliver almost another 20 odd hours depending on how you configure it. Mine is configured to switch off at 20%. The question is whether or not you're willing to spend 4 to 5 times the money on Lithium to get a load more usable capacity from your battery?

Why does nobody drive the Iveco Daily 4x4.
