Handy and excellent construction Time Owned: more than 12 months.
I purchased the DC12 MAX GO-BOX with 40Ah LiFePO4 Battery and Charger (Bioenno) in January 2020. Since then I have used it to power a 100w HF radio while activating parks for the WWFF / POTA programs. My wife and I have made over 8500 contacts in 18 months from parks, the unit has been flawless and we have never run out of battery power, it lasts far longer than we can stay out operating portable for the day! The large 40Ah battery is great for extra reserve, easily powering a 100w HF radio all day with lots of CQing. I didn't get the version with built-in solar charge controller, those are also available. I ordered mine with a custom configuration of the DC connectors and it was not a problem. Email replies and product shipping were prompt.
