The Grid puts a 300Ah AllSpark lithium battery, a REDARC Alpha 50 DC-DC charger and an AllSpark Pro Series 2500W pure sine wave inverter into one case, wired and fused before it leaves the workshop. You connect the vehicle and a solar panel through Anderson plugs and run 12V and 240V gear straight off it.
3,840Wh of usable energy is enough for most touring setups to run a fridge for well over a week between charges, with headroom for a kettle, coffee machine or induction cooktop. The inverter is rated at 2500W continuous with a 5000W surge, so a single high-draw appliance will not trip it, though running two at once means adding their wattages together.
Charging on the move and at camp
The REDARC Alpha 50 charges at up to 50A from the alternator while you drive and takes fixed or portable solar on its own input. It uses solar first when both are available, which takes load off the alternator. At home, any 240V lithium charger can top it up through an Anderson plug.
Outlets and protection
Two 50A Anderson plugs handle power in and out behind a 60A resettable breaker. The cigarette socket, a QC 3.0 USB-A and a 65W USB-C PD port share a 15A breaker, and the Posifit fridge socket has its own 15A breaker. The inverter sits on a 200A breaker. Every circuit has a switch, so nothing draws power you have not turned on.
Monitoring
The battery talks to the AllSpark app over Bluetooth, showing state of charge, voltage, current in and out, and temperature. The net current figure, every charge source minus every load, tells you at a glance whether the panel is keeping up with the fridge.
Before you order
Each Grid is assembled to order in Western Australia, so allow 2 to 4 weeks before dispatch. Installing it in a vehicle needs a cable from the start battery to an Anderson plug; if your vehicle does not already have one, the AllSpark Grid wiring kit covers it. Prefer the 2000W inverter or a bare unit? See The Grid 300Ah with 2000W inverter and The Grid 300Ah without an inverter.
