Hi Joe + others. I just found out a company offers a product called an EV Power Station: http://www.nichicon.co.jp/english/new/new135.html. Apparently it allows us to draw power directly from the battery pack, and not from the 12V circuit. I am going to look into this further to see if it is an...

Cheers, Joe. What I needed to know :) The sensible thing would be what you suggest; a fixed batteri powered by solar panels. When, for those grey winter days a backup plugin into the car to draw some LEDs and not much more.
