You can expand the elite 200 V2 via the solar input, other youtubers have shown that almost any Solar generator, can be expanded with a 48V battery connected to its solar input port. It's not pretty, but it works. Also, you can use a 20 amp solar charge controller to connect more panels and output to the V2 via the solar input, as long as the voltage is less than 60 volts. (assuming the SCC outputs 48v-60V range).
I have seen that, too. I call that extended runtime, not *real* expansion, since the daisy chained battery can't be natively charged along with the internal pack. There are lots of options to augment these things.
Will this run a dometic cooler for a 4 day camping trip without having to charge. I’m interested in measurements of this I just want an answer to my question
If it is similar power consumption to my 12V compressor fridge you might expect 7-10 days runtime depending on temperature setpoint and environmental conditions.
excellent review!
Thank you!
