From Installation to the Open Road JSK Auto Electrical
It started with a custom Renogy installation.
Jacques spent two days modifying and fitting the Renogy 3000W Power Box, 500Ah Under-Seat Lithium Battery, 300W Suitcase Solar Panel and Portable Fridge into his setup.
The goal? Build it properly, then put it to the test.
And that’s exactly what he did.
Over 9 days, Jacques travelled from Cape Town through the Cederberg and Springbok, before taking on rough gravel roads towards Hondeklipbaai, Namaqua National Park and Elands Bay.
Corrugations, sand, mist and off-grid camping the Renogy system handled it all.
The battery never dropped below around 68%
The 300W suitcase panel produced up to around 260W
The DC-DC charger delivered around 40A while driving
The Renogy app made it easy to monitor and control the entire system
The system also powered an air fryer, induction plate, hairdryer, fridge and, most importantly for Jacques, his CPAP machine every night.
After putting the system through its paces, Jacques' verdict?
“I’m genuinely very happy with the system.”
From the workshop to the wilderness, this was a real-world Renogy test. And it passed.
Renogy. Power your journey.
