FOR MANY years, 4x4 owners have been motivated by the desire to escape the hustle and bustle of city life. However, these same owners do not always want to give up the comforts of home, and as a result, the amenities that they take with them on their travels have evolved over time. Thanks to the constant advancement of modern technology, 12V fridges now allow travellers to spend more time in remote areas, pie ovens can cook food while they drive, and 240V induction hobs eliminate the need to carry gas bottles. And let’s not forget about those all-important coffee machines. All of this technology requires a significant amount of power, which is provided by the ever-improving LiFePO4 battery industry.
DESIGNED TO WORK
HAVING accumulated a wealth of experience manufacturing designer HDPE (high density polyethylene) canopies, WA-based Core Off-Road decided to build its own Power Box range of lithium battery-based power stations, simplifying installation of auxiliary power into any 4x4. Listening to what customers were asking for in their builds, the team at Core OffRoad came up with three designs based around known quality components, with each succession adding more capacity and features.
