Just gotto figure out a good place in the Pod to mount it. http://www.teslamotors.com/powerwall - http://www.teslamotors.com/powerwall Seriously, compared to other RV lithium ion battery setups, this thing is beautiful and, dare I say, cheap. Fun stuff. fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Fred, You can say beautiful, but I don't think you're ready to say cheap. And this should start a whole new thread on how to attach things to RPOD walls.  ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |

Yeah, Charlie. Might have to beef up the bathroom wall a bit to hang 220 pounds.  I thought the announcement was interesting and will, no doubt, get some execs in the battery space scrambling a bit. I'm sure there are others, but these guys may have some serious competition from Tesla: http://www.amsolar.com/home/amr/page_331_131/400_amp-hour_lithium_battery.html - http://www.amsolar.com/home/amr/page_331_131/400_amp-hour_lithium_battery.html For the time being, I'm super happy with my dual gc2 setup, but imagine battery options will grow substantially over the next few years. fred ------------- 2014 RPod 178 => https://goo.gl/CV446f - MyMods and Buying Habits 2008 4Runner Limited 4.0-liter V6 Yes, those are wild ponies dining on grass while dumping tanks! |

Let's see: Weight = 45% of 4 GC2s Volume = 16% of 4 GC2s Cost = just $3300 New converter/charger required Now where's my check book? I hope they have them at Wally World. ------------- Charlie Northern Colorado OLD: 2013 RP-172, 2010 Honda Pilot 3.5L 4WD PRESENT: 2014 Camplite 21RBS, 2013 Supercharged Tacoma 4L V6 4WD |
