DOMETIC PLB40
Not everyone wants to transform their rig into a tourer and, so, a portable power pack can be a great way (and a cost-effective one too) of getting power into your vehicle but not having to have it permanently setup. Dometic’s PLB40 is a portable lithium battery with 40Ah. To charge the battery you can use either 12V or AC, or if you’re out on your trip, it can be recharged via solar. The PLB40 also has a useful LCD display, which provides important information including battery capacity, charging status and output status – read our review HERE.
