Then I will make the effort of getting one and fitting it to my truck as one of the last modifications before I head off on a 4 week Solo Vehicle Safari.... :thumbup: :thumbup:

Johan, sien in die SA4X4 dat hulle die 1000w inverter verkoop vir R 1596 (DPI 12100) en die prys sluit ook dan die Auto 7, 5 stage automatiese 12v, 7 amp laaier in. Die prys sluit versending na poskantoor naaste aan jou in. Hoop dit help. BL 109 Feb uitgawe.

Mark is dit n goeie prys/deal?

Mark ja hy is lekker kompak.

Hier is die info van hulle website af...

The ABC are three stage fully automatic microprocessor controlled battery chargers that can be left connected to your batteries indefinitely. These chargers are especially useful in stand-by applications and compliment our range of 12VDC to 220VAC inverters.
