[QUOTE="condor22, post: 571446, member: 1932"] Am out in the caravan with detectors. Thought I'd share this re battery charging, not the van battery, lol. I have the following gear on charge; GPX5000 Lithium battery - 12 V input 2 x 3600 mAH Li-oN 18650 batteries - 12 V input 1 x Steel Phase SP01 - 5 V USB input 1 x Deteknix Wireless Headphones - - 5 V USB input 1 x Deteknix wireless Tx for the phones. - 5 V USB input All charging from my van battery and the current draw is 1.3 amps The GPX and SP01 are already charged after 45 minutes. I expect the Deteknix to be charged within 1.5 hours and the 18650s in 2 hours. Total will be < 2.5 AH of power use. I read this load with my panels off and then turned them back on for a + charge to the van, therefore no drain on the van battery. For those prospectors charging from a car, camper or van 12 volts, it's sod all. :) [/QUOTE]
