Re: My Solar and battery backup for dry camping
Yeah I saw that, Squid. I am thinking of trying to get a new machine. Seems the S9 with that converter you can only get 2 days worth on the Poweradd Pilot, Trying to get 3 days, without carrying an extra battery.

Re: My Solar and battery backup for dry camping
Well my BPS battery and solar charger were stolen while camping a few weeks ago, $600 down the drain. We were camping semi remote, need 4x4 to get into, not a lot of traffic, but people visiting lake. I set my battery up on west side of lake fri, no problem, saturday gone. It was not far from my site, and best sun. Oh well, people suck.
Anyway, I picked up jagzoo setup, and honestly think it is better, battery is slightly heavier, but lasts longer, got two full nights pressureat 10, and 3 humidifier, slept 9.5 hours each night, and still had 10% life. I like the solar charger much better too, it has built in USB ports for phone, etc. Charging, and also a cigarette light lighter female end you can connect just about anything to charge with. Charger seems comparable, I tried it out, but was busy so, it sat in shade part of the day. All for $225 from amazon. For $110 for another battery, I can almost do any camping, without worrying about getting a single bttery charged in one day.
Thanks zagzoo for researching this setup!

This panel is interesting - it has a port to plug in the output from a second similar panel like the Instapark® Mercury27 to daisy chain the output. Same connector as the instapark:
