Power

Power is the part of a camp setup that decides whether everything else works. Off Grid Superstore stocks 47 Wildtrak power products in Australia, covering starting, storing, charging and lighting.

What's in the range

Jump Starters covers the lithium units, from the 1000A 12,000mAh for petrol cars up to the Heavy-Duty 6000A 26,800mAh for diesel 4WDs and trucks, which also carries a USB-C port and wireless charging pad.

Lighting is the largest section at 34 products, and 12V Wiring & Accessories holds 16 leads, sockets and adaptors. Portable Power covers power stations, Generators the inverter sets for longer stays, Battery Chargers the recharge side, and 12V Fans the summer problem. 12V Kitchen is where it gets interesting: the 12V 1 Litre Portable Kettle runs at 150W and the Offroad 12V Slow Cooker holds 1.4 litres, both off the vehicle rather than a gas bottle.

What to buy first

A jump starter earns its place before anything else, because a flat battery in a remote camp is a recovery call rather than an inconvenience. Match peak amps to the engine: diesels need far more cranking current than petrol, so a large diesel 4WD wants 4000A or higher while a small petrol car is fine on 1000A.

After that, decide between a power station and 12V direct. A power station suits laptops, CPAP machines and anything mains-powered; running fridges, lights and cooking straight off 12V is more efficient because nothing is inverted twice. Solar is what keeps either topped up past a couple of nights.

What size jump starter do I need for a 4WD?

Match peak amps to engine size and fuel type. Diesel engines need considerably more cranking current than petrol, so a large diesel 4WD is better served by a 4000A or higher unit, while a small petrol car starts comfortably on 1000A.

Can a 12V kettle run off a car battery?

Yes. A 150W 12V kettle draws around 12 amps, which a vehicle accessory socket handles comfortably with the engine running. It boils more slowly than a mains kettle, so it suits a brew at a rest stop rather than catering for a group.

Portable power station or a 12V setup?

A power station is the simpler choice if you need mains sockets for laptops, cameras or a CPAP machine. Running fridges, lights and cooking directly off 12V is more efficient because the energy is not inverted to 240V and back down again.

How long will a portable power station run a camp fridge?

Divide the station's usable watt-hours by the fridge's average draw rather than its peak, since a camp fridge cycles rather than running constantly. Ambient temperature is the biggest variable, so a fridge in the shade at 25C will run far longer than the same unit sitting in the sun.
