You should have ordered 2, zip them together for an XLXL jacket ;)

I just noticed the people camped next to me have one of these $299 BCF XTM 200w solar blankets, it looks almost identical to my $80 ones…

Devonport Tasmania shows "low stock", so there may be some left around the place...

I found a local solar company advertising old house panels on FB for $5 each so I went and grabbed a few to toy with, they also had a lot…

I just noticed that ebay listing for the crimpers has gone up to $24 from the $20 I paid, so if you go for crimpers like that search around…

Thanks... I considered mounting a DC-DC charger and/or MPPT in there but space was tight and I really didn't want the heat from them in the…

It's the extra large: https://www.supercheapauto.com.au/p/toolpro-toolpro-safe-case-extra-large-black-560-x-430-x-215mm/326046.html…

Nothing special, just some random footage to show how I'm using mine, excuse the mumbling and errors, I don't prep and generally don't…

I haven't done any real testing yet but I threw one of my square blankets on top of the Bimini canopy on my tinny and left it there for a…

The 8 was the only one that gave me grief with random lockups and shutdowns, I suspect it was due to the old under-powered GP1 CPU and they…

Interesting, I have an 11, I use it a fair bit but I haven't done anything noteworthy extreme with it, it's never been an issue though...
02/04/2025 - 21:59
just out of interest, how were you using the 11, what were you doing with it for it to overheat?... I recorded the whole Canning Stock…

That's not true, you may have had a faulty one, it does happen... I had issues with an 8, but other than that they've been pretty good..…
02/04/2025 - 21:40
and you've used both a fair bit I assume?
02/04/2025 - 21:31
It comes down to fine details when choosing between them all now... Gopro shit me, their support is shocking, I have complaints, but their…

To add to this... Tighten the screw terminals on the PWM solar controller if you're going to use it, they're not really tight... All the…

I just unpacked my square ones for a quick look... They're mono panels, 12 x half cells per segment = 108 total, the 9 segments are about…

Nice... For the money 150w is good IMO, it seems rare for folding blankets to give their rated output.. Mine are arriving today, I'll head…

You cant trust any of the reviews really, they (and DJI) hand out a stack of free gear to influencers for their shady biased reviews...

The camera alone has been as low as $423 in the past > https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/890143

Mine's probably up due to a $110+ order last month :( Either way it's ok... $80 order - $20 CR, - $8.50 ER = $51.50
22/03/2025 - 23:39
Thanks.. Looking at the datasheets I see the Ultimate are twice as tear resistant.. Lite:…

Is there much difference between the 'MaxiFoam Lite' and the 'Maxiflex Ultimate'?, hmmm, which is likely to be more durable for general use?
22/03/2025 - 22:31
I had 1700 points for a $70 spend booster..
22/03/2025 - 21:37
I placed an order when they had a deal like this on Feb 21st, I didn't get the tracking email until the 10th of March... I was almost going…

Yeh, if the PWM was set to a 12v battery then it would have been hacking the ~16v-18v down to ~14v and that's where the losses would come…
21/03/2025 - 16:49
To add… Looking at the readings from the PWM controller in your video, and looking at a manual for the same generic controllers, it…

Awesome, great overview video :) .... Hopefully my square ones are just as good, they arrived in Hobart today so hopefully I'll get them…

Heat = significant losses, that cable will be fine if you're not chasing best performance, but in an ideal world a beefier cable would be…
