           *** HOW LONG WILL THIS PACKAGE ALLOW ME TO RUN MY FRIDGE? *** 

There are many variables that need to be considered when trying to calculate the run times of fridges from a battery source. Factors such as fridge size, fridge temperature, ambient temperature, how empty/full your fridge is and how often you are in and out of the fridge all need to be taken into consideration when calculating approximate run times from a battery. 

We at Home of 12 Volt allow for an approximate run time based on the above variables, however much better run times can be achieved. 

Thumper 110 AH Battery Pack 
- 40LT Fridge approx run time of 3-4 days 
- 60LT Fridge approx run time of 3-4 days
- 80 Lt Fridge approx run time of 2-3 days
- 110 Lt Fridge approx run time of 1.5 - 2.5 days

The above run times do not involve any recharge and are based on a continuous run time using a compressor type fridge, such as a Waeco, Engel, EvaKool, etc

The use of the 100 watt Split Fold Solar Panel on the Thumper 110 AH 
(approx 6 - 8 hours per day) 
- 40LT Fridge approx run time  = Independent
- 60LT Fridge approx run time  = Independent in most cases
- 80LT Fridge approx run time  = approx 5 - 7 days and in some cases independent
- 110 Lt Fridge approx run time = 5 - 8 days

Keep in mind that if you install the vehicle charging system and you are driving for an hour or two every 2 - 3 days then you will be able to run independently on this system with a 80-110Lt fridge as the vehicle can then produce what the solar panel are not producing. 


DESCRIPTION: 

The Blue Apple Multi-crystalline portable 100 watt split fold solar panel is made with the highest quality A - grade silicon cells and come with a full 25 year performance warranty and 10 year structural warranty. 

Multi crystalline panels make for fantastic portable panels due to the all rounded efficiency with all levels of light, working extremely well in areas of high light and even maintaining a fantastic output in low light or overcast conditions. 

The 100 watt SPLIT fold has the ability to harness over 6 Amps per hour (with an average output of 5 + Amps) 

This neat design consists of 2 x 50 watt panels hinged together, so when folded the glass panels will fold in facing one another; adding extra protection to the panel. Once folded, the panel can slide straight into the provided carry bag, allowing for easy transport.   

Portable panels can allow the user to harness up to a massive 12 hours of sunlight a day (depending on your location and the time of the year). 

This means that the 100 watt split fold panel CAN produce up to 70 Amps per day! In most cases the 100 watt split fold panel would allow the user to continuously keep up with the draw of a 60Lt compressor type fridge (when combined with approx a 60 Ah battery). 

The input power of a portable panel is largely dependent on the user of the panel. 
**Keep in mind that if like your late mornings and you do not put your panel in the sun until the afternoon, you may need to consider a larger panel to compensate for the time you would miss in the mornings. 

Every Blue Apple panel is fitted with diode protection, eliminating the chance for the solar cells to rob power from one another when in the shade. The diode protection will also eliminate any chance of power being robbed from the batteries at night. 

The 100 watt split fold panel is fitted with DUAL waterproof 6 Amp solar regulators, which will regulate the voltage of the panel to approx 14.1 volts. The regulator will allow for the panel to be suitable for the use with AGM, GEL, WETCELL or CALCIUM batteries. 

Each panel is equipped with its own set of heavy duty anodized aluminum legs which can be adjusted to allow the panel to sit at any angle allowing for optimum performance to be achieved. At the bottom of each aluminum leg there are rubber feet fitted which will prevent the panel from slipping on smooth surfaces.

Basic Questions and Answers for the Thumper power pack 

What is Thumper?   

The Thumper range is designed to take the place of, or even work alongside a dual battery system in the vehicle, boat etc. They are the perfect option for those who either have no space for a traditional dual battery system or would like to have the freedom of a portable dual battery system that can be easily separated from the vehicle with a massive spike protected jump-starting capability. Most commonly used for powering 12 volt refrigerators & lighting although the applications stretch only as far as your imagination.

Jump Starting

Is jump-starting my vehicle safe?  

Yes! Jump starting with the Thumper range is perfectly safe for both the unit and your vehicle. The Thumper range is completely spike protected which means that you will not incur any of those nasty voltage spikes which could potentially fry a vehicle's internal circuits and cause you thousands of dollars in vehicle repairs.

Will the Thumper start my diesel?   

Yes! Each of the Thumper units hold a differing CA output, which means that the cranking ability varies between the sizes of each unit. Refer to specifications section for the cranking abilities of each Thumper model.

Batteries

What Type of Batteries are used in the Thumper Range?   

Each Thumper unit consists of multiple 12 Volt AGM cells (Absorbed Glass Matt) linked together in parallel for the super fast recharge time. The battery's are 100% maintenance free and will not leak or gas when charging; perfect for use inside the vehicle or enclosed areas. The AGM batteries allow for not only deep cycling but they additionally allow for the massive cranking ability. The cells like to charge at a voltage rate between 13 - 14 Volts, which means that they are fully capable of charging via the supplied vehicle charging kit.

Your Thumper unit is completely recharged before delivery.

The condition of the cells can be checked by pressing the push button on the front of the unit to illuminate the blue LCD display gauge. Cross-reference the gauge against the voltage readings on the sticker above to determine the remaining voltage available. The gauge has an extremely low power draw and can be left on if require to monitor the Thumper’s condition. If left illuminated the gauge will draw approx 1 Amp over a 14 day period.

Will they leak or spill?  

No. The AGM batteries completely sealed battery's, meaning that you will not have to worry about the cells leaking acid, fuses, gases or any nasty odors. Due to the fact the batteries are completely sealed, it allows for the batteries to be stored on any one of their sides even upside-down while working to full efficiency!

Can I store the unit in a non-ventilated area, such as under a bed?  

Yes. Considering that the batteries are completely sealed it means that the batteries do not require a ventilated area for storage. This results in the perfect battery to have stored in an out of the way area such as under a bed in a caravan or under a vehicle's seat, even in a draw in the back of 4WD!

Do the batteries hold a memory?

Unlike many batteries on the market, the Thumper does not hold a ‘memory’, which means that at any stage, regardless of the state of charge the Thumper may be recharged or discharged, without affecting the life of the unit which is approximately 5-7 years after which the units can be re-packed and given a brand new 2 year warranty.

Charging Methods

In Vehicle Charging 

All units are supplied with a Complete Charging System for the vehicle or boat, which when installed correctly, will allow for a recharge time of 2 – 4 hours and never let your vehicles starting battery go flat as it automatically separates the Thumper from the starting battery when the motor is not running.

Your Thumper will be supplied with a 20 Amp In Vehicle Charging System.  The charging kit is designed to be hard mounted into the vehicle and when installed correctly; this kit will provide a charge rate of up to 20 Amps depending on the unit’s requirements and the vehicle’s alternator.

Your Thumper can be continuously connected to the vehicle charging kit without risk whilst simultaneously providing power for on-board accessories (for example – car fridge) if desired.

(We do not recommend charging the unit straight from a vehicle's cigarette socket, as the unit will never reach full charge)

Can I charge my unit and discharge it at the same time? 

YES! This is the perfect way to use your Thumper. All connections on the Thumper may be used for recharging or discharging.

Charging from a 240v Source?  

Your Thumper can be charged from 240 Volt; however, the charger MUST be regulated or automatic to ensure that the cells are not damaged if accidentally left for extended periods.

Simply connect the alligator clamps of your regulated or automatic charger to the Thumper via the 175A Anderson connector (Positive to the positive terminal, negative to the negative terminal). 

For an accurate reading of your Thumper’s state of charge, wait for 30 minutes after disconnecting from the charger as this will allow time for any “surface charge” to fade.


Can I recharge my unit straight from my generator?

YES! We recommend putting a regulated battery charger between the generator and your unit for a faster recharge and to protect you batteries from the spikes that can occur with Generators charge outputs

Can I use Solar Panels to charge my unit?   

Yes. Solar panels can be used for charging and/or maintaining the Thumper battery packs. Keep in mind that solar panels that are rated at 10 watts or higher must be regulated when connected to any type of battery. This will prevent the solar panel from over-charging the battery and potentially causing damage.  See our wide range of panels available from this store!

Will it run my fridge?

Yes. It will and many other appliances also! One of the main accessories in which people use with the Thumpers are 12/240Volt compressor type fridges. As the batteries are deep cycle it allows for the running of accessories even while the battery is charging through vehicle charging, Solar or even 240 Volt!

We do not recommend running gas fridges for prolonged durations due to the high power draw (approx 12 + Amps per hour).


Can I use inverters for 240 Volt appliances?   

Yes. The Getaway range includes an inbuilt inverter. These units will allow for the running of appliances such a laptop computers, recharging phone and camera batteries to even running TV's, DVD players or even powering tools such as drills and 4 inch angle grinders! 

How long will the battery last while running my appliances? 
The duration of time that the Thumper will last with running accessories such as a fridge largely depends on the amp draw of the appliance in question. For example: a fridge with an average draw of 1 amp per hour would run for 30 hours with a 30 amp hour unit..

What is an Amp Hour?

Amp hour is the rated capacity of the unit. If a unit holds 60 AH and you discharged the unit using a fluorescent light that draws 1 Amp per hour the unit would last for a duration of 60 hours before needing recharging.


What size Thumper do I need?

To work out the size you need simply multiply the average amp per hour draw of your fridge by the amount of hours you want your fridge to run for. Take into account that if you are driving a little every day your unit will be recharging i.e 1 hour of driving you will have put 25% charge back into your battery.  Feel free to call us on for help choosing the correct battery size on the number at the top of your screen.

What is the life expectancy of the batteries used? 

The AGM cells used in the Thumper range have a life expectancy between 5 - 9 years. The life of the Thumper range largely depends on the method in which the unit is charged. Over 10 years on the market has proved that the life expectancy of the units increase when the units are charged via the provided In car charging kit. When the unit is not in use (discharged regularly), the best method of maintaining the battery is leaving the unit connected to its In Car kit. This maintains the battery and aids in prolonging the life of the cells used in the battery pack.

What is the warranty of the Thumper?  

The Thumper offers a 2-year warranty from the date of your purchase.

What do I do when my cells in my unit die?  

Although the Thumper range offers a 2 year warranty and has a life expectancy between 5 - 9 years. We offer our customers the chance to have their unit repacked when the cells do eventually die out! Once a customer has paid for a repack we offer our customers a new 2-year  manufacturer warranty on the unit from the date of repack.

Where and how are the Thumper units made? 

The Thumper range is proudly South Australian made and owned. Each unit is hand made from start to finish to produce the best portable dual battery system with the highest cranking ability available on market!
