The Power Pak allows the Solar Stik™ to operate as a stand-alone power generator in any application where a portable gasoline generator would be used. It was designed as a highly mobile platform that provides 12VDC and 120VAC power for a wide variety of applications ranging from the recreational to the military, and operates with or without the Solar Stik™.
It will provide pure power for many years of service under the most demanding conditions, the Power Pak is constructed into a military-grade Pelican™ 1440 case and doesn’t have cheap gadgetry (such as AM/FM radios or clocks) that other manufacturers incorporate into their product for "selling points".
The Power Pak 100 can deliver an unparalleled 100 amp-hours of 12 volt DC power. Innovative in design, AC or DC power is available through the multi-function user terminal. Terminal #1 consists of four standard 12 volt receptacles, and terminal #2 has a 12 volt post-connection. The internal AGM batteries provide power to each terminal independently or both simultaneously through a terminal selector switch. The Solar Boost™ charge control monitors battery voltage and DC current from the Solar Stik™. This digital display also aids in determining the proper inclination of the Solar Stik™ solar panels. A Xantrex Micro Inverter (800 Watt Modified Sine Wave) is provided with the Power Pak for those times when AC power is demanded. Also incorporated into the user terminal is a goose-neck 12 volt light with red & clear lenses for operation after dark. The Power Pak also has a built-in battery maintenance system that employs a small solar panel. This 2 watt system charges, equalizes, and de-sulfates the 12-volt batteries at the same time, greatly expanding the life and service of the unit’s AGM battery bank. A durable thirty-foot weatherproof power leash is included for connection to the Solar Stik™. The Power Pak batteries are D.O.T. approved as non-hazardous cargo for ground, sea and air transport.
EASY OPERATION
Transporting the Power Pak 100 is easy. Weighing just under 100 Lbs, the case has integrated polyurethane wheels and a telescoping aluminum handle, and is completely watertight when closed. Setup is extremely fast... simply open the case, turn on the 100-amp master breaker, activate the desired terminals, and plug in. Connection of the Power Pak to the Solar Stik™ is “Plug & Play” via the power leash. Operate all day from Solar Stik™ power and all night from the Power Pak’s battery reserve. The Power Pak is designed for optimum use with the Solar Stik™, however, the Power Pak can also be recharged using conventional methods, allowing for greater mobility and versatility. This is a critical feature as it allows the Power Pak to operate independently of the Solar Stik™ when conditions warrant.
NEED MORE POWER?
If the Power Pak is used in an application where more power is required, several methods of “expansion” are available. Because the Power Pak charge control can handle up to 25 amps of input power, multiple Solar Stiks™ can be “daisy chained” together to supply the Power Pak. The Power Pak may also be expanded by connecting extra 12 volt batteries or other Power Paks using jumper-cables. By “jumping” extra battery capacity to the Power Pak, the overall battery capacity is increased, allowing for greater power storage.
