Great episode guys🙌🏻 we have used itech batteries in our first caravan and did some roads and can’t fault them. When we built the canopy on the 79 I didn’t hesitate to get them and run 2 120 for the power in the canopy 🙌🏻 Thanks guys 🙌🏻
Thanks legends!! Same experience with them as us!! And you guys use them full time on hard, corrugated hot tracks too!! Love hearing this sort of thing thanks guys ❤️🍻🤙🏽
My wife and I are full time going on 6 years now, and we UA-cam our adventure’s. It is tough putting yourself out there, let alone cop flack for it. Fortunately, we are yet to encounter any hate, or negativity . I love your content, up front and honest…. well done
I replaced 3 100amp hour agms with I one itech 120x in my trailer. Saved me in excess of 60kg and has given me more usable power. A budget product that works. Good review.
All good mate, !! Love your in depth videos and how comprehensive they are! Spewing to hear about your dusting mate, we are running a patrol docta airbox and seems like a very good bit of kit. No dust so far 🤞🏽
@@SarahandKeelanTravels Cheers mate. Your channel has grown rapidly in recent times and I can see why. Great honest content 👍 Yeah, frustrating issues with the LC200's engine, but I have a plan coming in the next few weeks to solve this issue 🤞 Today was day 1 of our big lap trip, who knows, might be able to catch up on the way around. Stay safe mate 👍
Hi Guys, Love the VIDS. To the haters- up yours you uniformed gits. I've had a Shorai lithium battery in my sports bike for 5 years, located right behind the engine, under the seat and it gets hot, very hot. it gets rough ride on tar roads. It has never let me down, and wouldn't hesitate putting another one in. I have lithium in my boat and will change the BT50 to lithium start batteries when the originals fail. It's people like Sarah and Keelan who actually use these and test them, show the pros and cons and review them that allow manufacturers to update their product info. A lot of manufacturers cant replicate what we Aussies do, so they go in soft. If it fails they say I told you so, if it passes with flying colours, then they are very happy. Keep up the harsh testing guys and reviews- muchly appreciated. Ian
There's videos of Tesla's driving through flooded streets with water up to the the lip of the bonnet. You're an amazing young fella. Respect for what you have achieved. You got balls. 👍
I’m new to camping and like you money doesn’t grow on trees so converted my van 2nd hand van with itec world gear 6 months ago waiting for my winter getaway, 2x120ah lithiums and it’s runs all my 240v gear no problems. Haters are gonna hate no matter what you do. When I went to the camping show here in SA had the usual brand snob tell me how bad they were, stories of them exploding etc, you are living proof that they are as good as batteries twice the price. Keep up the good work and love your videos!
Thanks to you guys l have just spent $3000 on a caravan package and now have peace of mind with buying itech. Don't worry about the hatters you guys are doing a great job.
Thanks Keelan & Sarah for your honest post. I bought 3 x 120ah Itechworld batteries, dcdc charger, 240v charger & MPPT charger (wanted a spare) because it was in my budget range then I started reading all the negative comments about these batteries and itechworld products and got worried that I had bought crap. Watching your videos and seeing your reviews has given me confidence in that what I’ve done is all good. Once again, thank you both & safe travels
Nice mate!! Enjoy the goodies and the savings you got in at the right time snagging them at there cheapest you could get them! Awesome Wayne no worries enjoy
Keelan, I’ve been a subscriber for about a year and am fascinated watching your travels. I’m not long off retirement and you are providing interesting and really useful content. I’m sorry to hear that there are people out there giving you negative feedback. You and Sarah are living our dreams out there. Keep doing what you’re doing because at the end of the day if you’re enjoying your life that’s all that matters. One day I’ll get a van and hit the open road. Thank You for sharing your experiences with us and stay safe.
Thanks doogs!! Appreciate that support mate means more than you know!! Cheers legend! We are very lucky to do what we do!! It’s all thanks to people like you who support and make it happen for us! Cheers
Guys, you did a vid on electrical that really helped us sort out what we wanted for our new van. You are so honest and down to earth. Don't you listen to those haters, they're sad people and you're not; you have great attitudes. Keep on enjoying your travels and keep blogging!😃
Guys stand proud. We are about to purchase the same battery, I have people telling me to buy other brands because they are big brand names…. I have just ordered the iTech world DC/DC 40 charger and then the battery.
Watching your post I relived the trip we did in 2016, right down to taking pics from exactly the same place. Admittedly there's a 50 years age difference between us with the experience that comes with it, however I'm extremely proud of you've and what you've achieved. I can remember shutting my eyes each night thinking "so far so good, but what about tomorrow". Re the haters. They are a fact of life in every work of life and none of them have ever "done it" and they hate anyone who has. I'm reliving my life vicariously through you and your living my dream.👍🍺
@@SarahandKeelanTravels It was a trip I'd wanted to do since I was old enough to read a map. Not only was it the adventure of my life but I did it with the love of my life. It was way out of her comfort zone and she relied on me every moment of every day for six months and the confidence it gave her in herself has changed our lives. We traveled solo and hunted and fished and lived off the land in places only God knew about, and only people like you two would understand. I envy your youth, your courage and strength of character and ability. You guys look so good on the HUGE screen in our outdoor theatre and we can almost smell the dust and feel the bumps. Stay safe P&V
These batteries are good, and I’m running one in the caravan, but I’m running x2 (stock setup) calcium cranking batteries under the bonnet of our old 100 series (4.2L turbo diesel) and they are 8 years old now, and just starting to get a little bit slower to crank the old cruiser when it’s been sitting a few days. And the haters are small people with puissant little lives. You’re out there doing what they envy what they want to be doing!!
Keelan and Sarah this is a great review 👏, most people that knock things haven't used them, you have probably done more testing on this battery in the real world than the manufacturer, and that is what it's all about, real world testing, not in a lab, super video guys 👍
I give it to you, your are giving it a go. Do not worry about people saying things. I knocked you for challenge others to reverse flip of a cliff into water. I do not want anyone getting hurt. And I do not want you getting hurt Keelan. You stay safe. And show Sarah that you will care for both. Russell
Been following your posts for awhile now and somehow missed this one. I’ve done the Gibb and Mitchell falls in our camper trailer and know what you are on about, no worries there. A four months trip and a half lap from Melbourne. We have just bought our 13’ hybrid van and will give the agm’s the flick as we didn’t get a choice, long story short. I’ve been doing research into lithiums and narrowed it down to 3 makes. ITech being one, but a couple of 120ah pro’s. You both seem happy with them and have given them a no BS test and opinion, now I’m pulling my hair out as the choice is ever harder🤣 Love your posts and you both are living the dream of many, me included. I couldn’t believe though at the start of this video you referred to people knocking and bagging you for what you did. Ignore these peanuts, these arm chair expert’s probably wouldn’t know a steering wheel from a spare wheel. Sit back and grin, you proved them wrong. Good on ya. Thanks though for the battery info, I’ve taken that on board👍👍👍
Hi you two lovelies..again! We’re 80 and 77 and love your channel, followed you since WA. You are doing such a great job of filming, editing and story telling etc and we talk about you all the time, atm we are off for a few months in our van and look forward to every episode.! We did the Gibb about 8 years ago with our Range Rover sport and 2002 van which my husband had installed air bags under. We had no trouble at all. Still have the same car but upgraded van so we can be off grid glamping in our senior years. Keep up the good work, you are both amazing young people ❤️❤️
Thanks for the support Kathryn!! Long time supporters! How awesome is the Gibb river! I’m sure it was amazing! So good yo hear guys! Safe travels! ❤️❤️
Hi Guys, never let the haters get you down. You guys are out there doing it AND have the fortitude to film & narrate it. The key "bored" cowboys get their facts from social media & probably never set foot out of a city. Keep up the good work.
Don't let the haters get you down. It's your energy, knowledge and personality that make your UA-cam worth watching. You are both so down to earth and we look forward to every new video you add. You are No.1 to us. Only a few more months we will be hitting the road and I hope one day we get to meet you guys. Keep doing what you are doing. Congratulations on your new set ups. 👏 You should be proud of yourselves.
Keenan/Sarah as a returned Iraq and Afghanistan military veteran(retired and old @ 62) let me congratulate you both on this presentation. We take of this time next year and always work around “Fit for Purpose”you certainly have shown us that this is the product for us Thank you both guys. Always remember in life that there will always be those who get off on hating and never expect every person to love you but in saying that I would be honoured 1 day to sit a chat with you both. I would also have you in my squad when I was in country. Cheers Art,Alison & Chappy
Thanks Chappy! Your support holds a lot of weight mate! Cheers for making the country what it is today!! We are both super proud aussies! Thanks again mate
@@SarahandKeelanTravels cheers would love a pup from that cap of yours hahaha I have 4 boys and a girl around you guys age all with chilled personalities so you are very relatable
I run the same setup. 1420pro and 120x. 120x is in the back because its just neater for wiring and the 1420pro in under bonnet and has been under water more times than I can remember and has taking some hard hits and still yet to skip a beat. I am going to remote mount the 1420pro next to the 120x soon just for the extra under bonnet space. Keep doing what you do and don't believe everything the trolls tell you
Haters are just jealous because you did something awesome that they can’t afford lithium are the future it has been in so many things well before the caravan scene I’m right into Rc cars and trust me they get hot/warm just from using them and beaten to hell and the most reliable so I’m really glad you stuck with them and flipped off the poor broke haters 👍🏼
thanks Ryan!! We are trying to be more discovered by new people! so hard when UA-cam controls who sees the video! feel free to share our vids on your FB so your friends and family can find us! we always appreciate the comments and the support mate! cheers legend!!!
This was a very confident presentation and the video editing was spot on. Throughly enjoy your weekly videos and can't wait to see where you take us next. Try not to let the negative comments get to you. They are simply not worth your time worrying about them.
A very impressive report on the performance of the battery. It certainly decries the opinions of the haters & "experts" who criticised you for doing what you believe in. Thank you.
Brother you are solid , don’t listen too the keyboard warriors,most of them haven’t even gone walkabout my friend. I take my hat off to the pair of you - through the ups and the downs and then the sad drowning of Percy but as you have proved time after time again you bounced back with such vigour and positive. I am really looking forward too your future adventures.
Thanks legend!! When we first started it hurt us a bit but now we have built something here with 99.9% of people who watch are legends! The negative comments are common anymore and they don’t effect me!! Cheers for the support legend!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Doesn't matter what we do in this world there will always be the negative people that feel the need to voice their opinion. Love your channel and all the best for the future. Cheers, Brad.
Fantastic video! What an incredible review, with amazing footage to back it up too! Shows the safety and reliability of the products too. I love iTechworld so much!!! I quite often see trolls/misguided types post stuff like you mention online. I've also witnessed it in person when explaining I'll be using portable power stations to run what I need at my place. ("You can't do that!" Yeah I can and I'm quite fine thanks!) and OMG, so much red dust!!!!
From the South Island NZ. Have been enjoying watching your videos especially when you were here in NZ. Your quality of filming and editing is brilliant. Thanks heaps for your guys hard work, very much appreciated.
I’m currently building a 200 at the moment too, but we tow a 5m boat and live in cape York. I’ve been tempted to put a lithium under the bonnet this time. But my hilux has had 2 lead acids under the bonnet and the house battery in the back. Tried and tested and works. If we lived down south I would try it, but with the constant hot weather I can’t see it being a good option without building a cooling system to manage the temperature of the battery at all times.
Hey mate! That’s awesome sounds exciting! How good is your neck of the woods! I reckon this battery could handle it! Give it a crack next time your lead acids cark it! Thanks legend!
Another great vid. My wife and I enjoy your 'give it ago' approach. The haters are the minority. The silent majority enjoy you vids, the information you provide; even if it means don't try this, is fantastic. Keep up the great work. Thanks K
Great video was looking at getting the itech world 100ah super slim lithium battery and putting it behind seat in our Prado but after watching your video I have found a better option the under bonnet will work thanks so much
Mate I've had another brand 100ah lithium under bonnet of my 150 for over a year, running a fridge 24/7, off road, winter, summer, not a problem. Ignore the negative vibes, live your dream.
Love your electrical ed and seeing your travels. In the western USA we have lots of national forest and BLM land. It’s awesome. But seeing your environments makes me so want to see WA. Don’t even worry about the haters. They are always going to be there. For every one of them there are hundreds of people who appreciate great content! Thanks for taking us along. Blessings!
Once again great advice. Must be so gratifying to prove these people wrong. Just remember it doesn't matter what others think. Just trust yourself and keep doing what you are doing. Enjoy the journey.
I run 2 x ITECH 1420CA PRO Lithiums under bonnet for starting and winching duties and a ITECH 120X Lithium under the canopy to run inverters, fridge, lights, chargers etc in the canopy where i sleep. do not have any DC/DC chargers, just a solenoid. Have 2 170 watt solar panels and have done the full length of the East Coast, up the centres of outback NSW, just got back from Cape York and about to head to SA and WA .... no probs with any of the batteries after 11 months and a bit of winching, lots of rough dirt tracks, heaps of corrugations and if you know about 4.2 litre turbo diesels you know about heat ... NO PROBLEMS.
You got the whole catalogue mate that’s awesome!! Good to hear your enjoying them like us! They are well priced 12v company which is rare I guess! Haha I know about the 4.2 heat haha 😂
So glad you proved them wrong brother ! Not point in hating , better off encouraging and giving constructive properly educated advice :) Motor on guys !!
Great video guys. I just bought a JS80 Jump Starter from iTechworld after watching your review and using your code thanks. It came just in time as my hilux alternator has chucked it in. I'm still waiting for the mechanic to get the parts so in the mean time it has been my battery to start the ute. And it works every bit as well as advertised. I'll definitely be recommending people watch your videos and buy iTechworld products. Keep up the good work. 💪
Awesome good to hear! JS80 has that much power! People jump some huge engines and tractors off them!! Awesome mate we appreciate that! Tell them about the SKT discount code ! Cheers
Doing well guys I’m loving it, gives me useful tips when I go travelling on my bike. Well indeed who ever said lithium don’t like heat nor water or corrugation.. you proved them wrong and shows what they know.. as an ex bike mechanic I run lithium in most my bikes although these days the bigger bikes are coming out standard with lithium batteries and 90% of the time under the seat and extreme outback conditions with engine heat rising ect doesn’t affect the battery nor does the corrugated roads and I’ve submerged my bike in some pretty deep water with no affect.. there always haters maté because you’ve done better then them You guys rock.. keep it up I had same cruiser maybe tad older mine was but looks similar in the end although you’ve got few more mods.. wish I kept it 👍👍
Good job guy’s, nice recaps here an there, dont let the hecklers, trolls, idiots get u down ur doing a great job and I applaud you for doing this stress test for me, because I haven’t been too sure if I could use lifepo4 under bonnet or not due to heat, & I know ur new 200 series gets pretty hot under the bonnet and the fan throws it toward the driver side battery, so I would consider some heat shielding &/or venting there if u can. I like to have a set of Maxwell Capacitors with jumper leads attached handy for quick jumps starts of anything up to a Steiger Tractor and they are also a handy buffer for ur batteries & inverter on heavier loads, I was entertaining putting them under my 200 series bonnet as a starter battery because when I tried them on it with no batteries hooked up, it started faster than any heavy duty battery has started it before, but have recently purchased a 25Amp hybrid lithium battery/capacitor all-in-one that takes up the space of about a 50-75Amp size lead acid battery footprint, but only weighs a few kgs, they are an Australian brand, FKR I think, check em out on YT if ur interested, they are sold as a heavy duty cranking battery, it limits ur cranking battery capacity to 25A (Lithium) though but can deliver up to almost 10,000 Amps spontaneaously for a nice quick start, and could possibly do so at 8-10v, I reckon one would be a nice toy to leave attached to ur battery/inverter setup to take up surges a bit, & as a spare Goto if u do need to have or give someone a quick start/boost. I know every inch is precious for u guy’s, but just something worth consideration, a nice light battery pack than can start a Dozer or use as a portable for outside fridge & lights on a panel it could keep a small camp going indefinately with a little solar charging daily. Cheers
Thanks mate appreciate the support!! It used to really effect us reading troll comments but not we barely get any and when we do it sort of dosnt effect us at all!! Thanks for the info appreciate it 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Based on logic, I decided to install an eBay lithium auxiliary, (purely on $), under bonnet of my 80 series over a year ago. It has not seen the abuse yours did, but I recently went from Tassie to Cape York, (only the PDR not the Tele), about a month before your trip, and I also have had no issues. I am now convinced that these are solid technologies. I will be upgrading to an iTechWorld before my next trip - just for added insurance. Thanks for your candid reviews.
@@gregdogg10 True, but as it was an eBay special and i was not dependent on it, I was willing to take the risk., Turns out I have been justified as in Sarah n Keelan's experience, it hasn't missed a beat, which surprised me as parts of outback Qld and the PDR are harsh. One of the differences in my setup is I required a DC->DC - wish I had known about the iTechworld earlier!
I have had the same battery in the back of my Hilux in a kickass battery box (with a lithium charging profile). For almost 3 years now. I've done some serious tracks and touring Australia. I have never had a problem that wasn't self created (left the fridge empty on full tilt in the middle of summer). Admittedly mine is not under bonnet but I like you copped a bunch of crap from some "experts" about simply buying that brand let alone lithium.
Hi guys, have just purchased the Itechworld 120x. What battery tray suits this battery? It does not fit in my ARB battery tray (N70 battery). I have a 2022 N80 hilux.
Apart from movie quality editing and filming the haters are just disgruntled unhappy fuckas. Ignore them. You guys are honest, genuine and 99% of your viewers love your content. Keep rockin on you legends 👍
Great video guys. I have all iTech gear including the 120X. Had the negative comments mostly from people repeating stuff they heard. In other words, talking cr&p.
Thanks Richard! I’ve heard the same stuff, some guy read something on Facebook from his brothers mates, uncles sister hampster so it must be true haha 😂
U guys from day dot have been natural honest and a treat to watch . Haters suck and most of it as u probs know is envy eh . Keep up your AWESOME vids cause I hang for em every week and I’m so pleased u have made it on UA-cam and can upgrade your touring pack. You both have your heads screwed on and are epic to watch and learn from and enjoy your adventures . Good onya and all the very very best for your future and thanks for the ongoing entertainment. Luv ya’s guys
Sarah and Keelan two things, thanks so so much for these vids they are next level which leads me on to the second point I’m so envious of your adventures. One day will be my turn and I hope I run into you guys out there somewhere
Off the back of your vids I’ve recently put one of these in my 200. Just come back from a week on Moreton island battery never missed a beat. So happy with it. Looking fwd to more of you travels in your new 200 🍻🍻
Awesome episode guys you and Sarah have grown in confidence so much since you started you don’t need anyone to tell you what is right or wrong cause you have the experience to go out and do what ever you dam well feel like 🤣👍
Awesome no bull@hit review, I’m really glad you never bailed on your dream, due to trolls. Remember you’ve many more fans than knockers. Keep up the great videos, they are becoming my preferred go to channel on UA-cam!
You tell the Haters 👏 Good on you guys for doing what you do with what you could afford. The 4wd industry has too long been a poisoned chalice with big brand BS. Itech is awesome kit. Thanks for the videos 🤙
If only there was some magical way to put a fan and direct cooler air to it 😂. "Instead of telling people what im going to do, im going to tell them what ive done" my new favorite qoute 👍
Great vid, out of interest what charger did you have. We currently have a Projecta DC charger for our second batter in the 200 series. Would love to know if this will work in the real world
Hey Damon cheers mate! We have a intervolt lead acid and agm only dcdc charger so I reckon your projects will work! Call itechworld they will know instantly
Sounds good. I will likely go with one under bonnet as my thing won't be doing anywhere near what yours does and the weight savings are always nice. Gotta say that if some of these places are that hard to get to I really couldn't be bothered. 5 minutes on small corrugations and I've had a gutsful. One think I would take away from something you said is to always have a manual backup or fallback in case things go wrong. Manual access to water and perhaps some freeze dried meals etc for if you do get stuck or something dumps it's load for whatever reason.
Thanks mate! Make sure you use our code to save money! (Code: SKT) Now is the cheapest they get! For sure we should carry more canned/ dried foods! Thanks for the suggestion mate
@@SarahandKeelanTravels No worries mate. I have a zombie apocalypse bugout bag with all sorts of stuff in it. Probably never use it but at least it's there if I do.
Don’t listen to the Losers who are only jealous because you are both out there living your dreams! The iTech product are quality, reliable and value for money, what more could you ask for! We’ve been following you guys since the start and enjoy you videos and especially the discounts you get for your followers which we have used a few times now! Keep the Dream Alive Keelan and Sarah you guys ROCK and we love you both! 🍻💕🍻🦘🦘🦘
Awesome thanks so much for the support guys! Smiling reading comments like these we are so lucky to have such good support network!! You guys are legends!! ❤️🤙🏽
mate most the haters on you tube are wannabe 4x4 people usually sit on couch never getting of there arses never experiencing life for them self think because they have read something in a book that they are experts never let these small minded fools effect you they really not worth your time im about to embark on a lwb 4x4 sprinter van build and ill be using most of what i have learnt here as a base to build from appreciated both of you keep vlogging hope to see you one day on the tracks
awesome informative video mate we are traveling aus at the moment and having trouble with our current agm dual batt setup in the car looking just trying to work out how I can fit itechworld lithium under bonnet in my tray of the 105 series as my second batt tray is only 300mm long but hopefully itechworld can sort something out for us 👍🇦🇺
For sure mate!! We fit it under the bonnet of the Prado with some simple mods!! Don’t forget to use our discount code skt! Right now it will get you extra discount on top of the itechworld sale
Well ya showed those mufties! Haters & trolls making comments like that probably googled their comments from their arm chair. You both should be very proud of your journey & growth so far. Great review on a great product 👏👏👏💪
Thanks to seeing you guys on UA-cam and socials we have just put 2 lithium batteries under our lc200 from battery power centre in Bunbury they had 4 types to best suit our needs we got more power in the 2 batteries than we got in our 3 agms and saved 65kg in weight only went to them because I hate electrics😅😂 otherwise I would have put itechs in Thanks so much for putting us down this avenue it’s made a big difference to our truck with keeping under gcm/gvm and wouldn’t have done it without your advice 🤙🏻
yep I have an itech in my pod trailer sitting pretty close to ontop of the axle and just done 17,000k’s around WA to all the corrugated road hotspots, the battery along with the 76 model yellow Engel were faultless, these batteries are gangsta, I had a hardkorr in there and it totally died after a short trip to Warwick 🙄, enerdrive and Itech batteries are on par I think.
You stuck it right up them 😂. Was looking at getting an itech battery to replace my AGM but itech said that I'd need a dcdc charger. Getting a 50a and dcdc charger and putting it in the back of the Pajero. Will one day look at swapping cranking battery to a itech 1420. Keep up the good work guy's.
Nice one mate!! I’m sure your after some weight saving with the cranking battery! They are only 8kg even lighter than the 120x! Make sure you use our code SKT and put some of that hard earned cash back in your pocket! Cheers
Awesome Toby!! Thanks for the support mate! We 100% recommend, right now they will be as cheap as they get for a long time!! We are about to put the whole itechworld catalogue in our new caravan! Discount code is SKT to save extra money
Great episode, personally agree with you about the online trolls and hates but as you said, your personal experience speaks louder than their typing. I was just doing more reading on the iTech website after this video and they specifically call out that the battery is not to be used for cranking? So just interested to know if using it under bonnet for cranking will affect warranty?
Cheers for the support mate!! I have tried to crank off it and it didn’t really Like it to much! I know your not meant to maybe the need to upgrade there website! The 1420 pro from itech is there 8kg cranking battery with 1420cca
I am a 55yr old female starting my van journey I have a question. I have an FP2000 pecron power bank and want to charge it from my alternator what size converter should I buy? If you can find time shoot me your thought. Thanks in advance
Got a query for you guys, and for all that travel with Lithoum batteries....so lithium doesn't like the cold, and from what I have read, a battery shouldn't be charged or discharged when below zero degrees....so how do you guys cope down south with the cold?
Don't listen to the trolls and haters. They probably don't venture further than the local shopping center. You guy's are living it. Keep it up. But dude, batteries on top of ya board? What were you thinking? 😂
Gday, in my opinion and experience doing YT content is not an easy task, there’s so many people that just want to pick shit out of what your doing, on the other hand I’ve found the YT community to be bloody awesome, my channel is all machining and sharing your skills with others is absolutely fantastic, we can all learn from each one’s experiences, you doing honestly proven reviews is priceless in my mind, viewers can rest ashore by watching your experiences that the product is what it is, the world will always have negative people in it sadly but look the other way and charge on, excellent video mate and thanks for sharing, cheers
Thanks matt! You know the feeling about sticking your neck out on UA-cam! I actually watched some of your videos the other day mate!! Loved them! You have skills I do not haha 😂 cheers for the support mate!! Really appreciate it!!
Great vid mate👍 Interestingly enough, I purchased and installed itech world batteries/chargers/inverters for my new caravan prior to following you guys. Personally I’ve done a load of washing (30mins) while running the AC/Fridge and hot water system. So definitely agree and would recommend itech world gear.
Great episode guys🙌🏻 we have used itech batteries in our first caravan and did some roads and can’t fault them.
When we built the canopy on the 79 I didn’t hesitate to get them and run 2 120 for the power in the canopy 🙌🏻
Thanks guys 🙌🏻
Thanks legends!!
Same experience with them as us!! And you guys use them full time on hard, corrugated hot tracks too!!
Love hearing this sort of thing thanks guys ❤️🍻🤙🏽
My wife and I are full time going on 6 years now, and we UA-cam our adventure’s. It is tough putting yourself out there, let alone cop flack for it. Fortunately, we are yet to encounter any hate, or negativity .
I love your content, up front and honest…. well done
I replaced 3 100amp hour agms with I one itech 120x in my trailer. Saved me in excess of 60kg and has given me more usable power. A budget product that works. Good review.
That’s awesome to hear Jeff!! Huge weight saving mate!! Gotta be happy with that
Yeah, 100Ah agm is equal to 50Ah lithium so 120Ah lithium is more than double capacity of the 100Ah agm
Cheers for the shout out guys. Have been very impressed with these 120X batteries. Has lasted the test of time all while retaining impressive specs 🤙
All good mate, !! Love your in depth videos and how comprehensive they are! Spewing to hear about your dusting mate, we are running a patrol docta airbox and seems like a very good bit of kit. No dust so far 🤞🏽
@@SarahandKeelanTravels Cheers mate. Your channel has grown rapidly in recent times and I can see why. Great honest content 👍
Yeah, frustrating issues with the LC200's engine, but I have a plan coming in the next few weeks to solve this issue 🤞
Today was day 1 of our big lap trip, who knows, might be able to catch up on the way around.
Stay safe mate 👍
Thanks mate appreciate that!
Bloody oath!! For sure! Best of luck and safe travels until then 🤙🏽🤙🏽🍻
Hi Guys,
Love the VIDS.
To the haters- up yours you uniformed gits.
I've had a Shorai lithium battery in my sports bike for 5 years, located right behind the engine, under the seat and it gets hot, very hot. it gets rough ride on tar roads. It has never let me down, and wouldn't hesitate putting another one in. I have lithium in my boat and will change the BT50 to lithium start batteries when the originals fail.
It's people like Sarah and Keelan who actually use these and test them, show the pros and cons and review them that allow manufacturers to update their product info. A lot of manufacturers cant replicate what we Aussies do, so they go in soft. If it fails they say I told you so, if it passes with flying colours, then they are very happy.
Keep up the harsh testing guys and reviews- muchly appreciated.
Ian
Thanks Ian!! Sounds like you have a good idea about if it works or not too!!
Good on ya mate thanks for the kind comment
There's videos of Tesla's driving through flooded streets with water up to the the lip of the bonnet. You're an amazing young fella. Respect for what you have achieved. You got balls. 👍
I’m new to camping and like you money doesn’t grow on trees so converted my van 2nd hand van with itec world gear 6 months ago waiting for my winter getaway, 2x120ah lithiums and it’s runs all my 240v gear no problems. Haters are gonna hate no matter what you do. When I went to the camping show here in SA had the usual brand snob tell me how bad they were, stories of them exploding etc, you are living proof that they are as good as batteries twice the price. Keep up the good work and love your videos!
Thanks to you guys l have just spent $3000 on a caravan package and now have peace of mind with buying itech. Don't worry about the hatters you guys are doing a great job.
Nice one Robert! Congrats mate! We are currently building our new van with the same all itech setup!! Cheers mate
Thanks Keelan & Sarah for your honest post. I bought 3 x 120ah Itechworld batteries, dcdc charger, 240v charger & MPPT charger (wanted a spare) because it was in my budget range then I started reading all the negative comments about these batteries and itechworld products and got worried that I had bought crap.
Watching your videos and seeing your reviews has given me confidence in that what I’ve done is all good. Once again, thank you both & safe travels
Nice mate!! Enjoy the goodies and the savings you got in at the right time snagging them at there cheapest you could get them! Awesome Wayne no worries enjoy
Keelan, I’ve been a subscriber for about a year and am fascinated watching your travels. I’m not long off retirement and you are providing interesting and really useful content.
I’m sorry to hear that there are people out there giving you negative feedback.
You and Sarah are living our dreams out there. Keep doing what you’re doing because at the end of the day if you’re enjoying your life that’s all that matters.
One day I’ll get a van and hit the open road.
Thank You for sharing your experiences with us and stay safe.
Thanks doogs!! Appreciate that support mate means more than you know!! Cheers legend! We are very lucky to do what we do!! It’s all thanks to people like you who support and make it happen for us! Cheers
Guys, you did a vid on electrical that really helped us sort out what we wanted for our new van. You are so honest and down to earth. Don't you listen to those haters, they're sad people and you're not; you have great attitudes. Keep on enjoying your travels and keep blogging!😃
Appreciate that Amanda!! Your support means more than you know!! ❤️🍻🤙🏽 safe travels
Guys stand proud. We are about to purchase the same battery, I have people telling me to buy other brands because they are big brand names…. I have just ordered the iTech world DC/DC 40 charger and then the battery.
Awesome Simon! You won’t be disappointed mate hopefully you used our code and saved some more extra money too!! Cheers
Watching your post I relived the trip we did in 2016, right down to taking pics from exactly the same place. Admittedly there's a 50 years age difference between us with the experience that comes with it, however I'm extremely proud of you've and what you've achieved. I can remember shutting my eyes each night thinking "so far so good, but what about tomorrow". Re the haters. They are a fact of life in every work of life and none of them have ever "done it" and they hate anyone who has. I'm reliving my life vicariously through you and your living my dream.👍🍺
Glad we could bring you some nostalgia!! Sounds bloody exciting though!! Thanks for the support mate that means a lot!! 🤙🏽🍻
@@SarahandKeelanTravels
It was a trip I'd wanted to do since I was old enough to read a map. Not only was it the adventure of my life but I did it with the love of my life. It was way out of her comfort zone and she relied on me every moment of every day for six months and the confidence it gave her in herself has changed our lives. We traveled solo and hunted and fished and lived off the land in places only God knew about, and only people like you two would understand. I envy your youth, your courage and strength of character and ability. You guys look so good on the HUGE screen in our outdoor theatre and we can almost smell the dust and feel the bumps. Stay safe P&V
These batteries are good, and I’m running one in the caravan, but I’m running x2 (stock setup) calcium cranking batteries under the bonnet of our old 100 series (4.2L turbo diesel) and they are 8 years old now, and just starting to get a little bit slower to crank the old cruiser when it’s been sitting a few days.
And the haters are small people with puissant little lives. You’re out there doing what they envy what they want to be doing!!
Keelan and Sarah this is a great review 👏, most people that knock things haven't used them, you have probably done more testing on this battery in the real world than the manufacturer, and that is what it's all about, real world testing, not in a lab, super video guys 👍
Thanks rick! I reckon your not far from the truth there mate haha 😂 we love them and swear by them!
I give it to you, your are giving it a go. Do not worry about people saying things. I knocked you for challenge others to reverse flip of a cliff into water. I do not want anyone getting hurt. And I do not want you getting hurt Keelan. You stay safe. And show Sarah that you will care for both. Russell
Thanks Russell appreciate the support mate! Means a lot 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
Been following your posts for awhile now and somehow missed this one.
I’ve done the Gibb and Mitchell falls in our camper trailer and know what you are on about, no worries there. A four months trip and a half lap from Melbourne.
We have just bought our 13’ hybrid van and will give the agm’s the flick as we didn’t get a choice, long story short.
I’ve been doing research into lithiums and narrowed it down to 3 makes. ITech being one, but a couple of 120ah pro’s.
You both seem happy with them and have given them a no BS test and opinion, now I’m pulling my hair out as the choice is ever harder🤣
Love your posts and you both are living the dream of many, me included.
I couldn’t believe though at the start of this video you referred to people knocking and bagging you for what you did. Ignore these peanuts, these arm chair expert’s probably wouldn’t know a steering wheel from a spare wheel.
Sit back and grin, you proved them wrong. Good on ya.
Thanks though for the battery info, I’ve taken that on board👍👍👍
Hi you two lovelies..again! We’re 80 and 77 and love your channel, followed you since WA. You are doing such a great job of filming, editing and story telling etc and we talk about you all the time, atm we are off for a few months in our van and look forward to every episode.! We did the Gibb about 8 years ago with our Range Rover sport and 2002 van which my husband had installed air bags under. We had no trouble at all. Still have the same car but upgraded van so we can be off grid glamping in our senior years. Keep up the good work, you are both amazing young people ❤️❤️
Thanks for the support Kathryn!!
Long time supporters! How awesome is the Gibb river! I’m sure it was amazing! So good yo hear guys! Safe travels! ❤️❤️
Hi Guys, never let the haters get you down. You guys are out there doing it AND have the fortitude to film & narrate it. The key "bored" cowboys get their facts from social media & probably never set foot out of a city. Keep up the good work.
Thanks mark!! Appreciate it mate!! That’s it bored and dumb haha 😂 cheers legend 🤙🏽🍻
Don't let the haters get you down. It's your energy, knowledge and personality that make your UA-cam worth watching. You are both so down to earth and we look forward to every new video you add. You are No.1 to us. Only a few more months we will be hitting the road and I hope one day we get to meet you guys. Keep doing what you are doing. Congratulations on your new set ups. 👏 You should be proud of yourselves.
Thanks legends!! Really appreciate it ❤️ support goes a long way!! Thanks for being awesome!!
Keenan/Sarah as a returned Iraq and Afghanistan military veteran(retired and old @ 62) let me congratulate you both on this presentation. We take of this time next year and always work around “Fit for Purpose”you certainly have shown us that this is the product for us Thank you both guys. Always remember in life that there will always be those who get off on hating and never expect every person to love you but in saying that I would be honoured 1 day to sit a chat with you both. I would also have you in my squad when I was in country. Cheers Art,Alison & Chappy
Thanks Chappy! Your support holds a lot of weight mate! Cheers for making the country what it is today!! We are both super proud aussies! Thanks again mate
@@SarahandKeelanTravels cheers would love a pup from that cap of yours hahaha I have 4 boys and a girl around you guys age all with chilled personalities so you are very relatable
I run the same setup. 1420pro and 120x. 120x is in the back because its just neater for wiring and the 1420pro in under bonnet and has been under water more times than I can remember and has taking some hard hits and still yet to skip a beat. I am going to remote mount the 1420pro next to the 120x soon just for the extra under bonnet space.
Keep doing what you do and don't believe everything the trolls tell you
Awesome Liam!! Sound sick mate what a setup 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Haters are just jealous because you did something awesome that they can’t afford lithium are the future it has been in so many things well before the caravan scene I’m right into Rc cars and trust me they get hot/warm just from using them and beaten to hell and the most reliable so I’m really glad you stuck with them and flipped off the poor broke haters 👍🏼
This is such a underrated channel mate, really enjoy watching these stories of yours. Keep it up legend
thanks Ryan!! We are trying to be more discovered by new people! so hard when UA-cam controls who sees the video! feel free to share our vids on your FB so your friends and family can find us! we always appreciate the comments and the support mate! cheers legend!!!
This was a very confident presentation and the video editing was spot on. Throughly enjoy your weekly videos and can't wait to see where you take us next. Try not to let the negative comments get to you. They are simply not worth your time worrying about them.
Thanks Janice!! Appreciate the support legend!! 🤙🏽🍻🍻❤️
A very impressive report on the performance of the battery. It certainly decries the opinions of the haters & "experts" who criticised you for doing what you believe in. Thank you.
Thanks Keith!! I feel like a 2 year real life test is better than testing it on a bench. Appreciate it mate
Brother you are solid , don’t listen too the keyboard warriors,most of them haven’t even gone walkabout my friend. I take my hat off to the pair of you - through the ups and the downs and then the sad drowning of Percy but as you have proved time after time again you bounced back with such vigour and positive. I am really looking forward too your future adventures.
Thanks legend!! When we first started it hurt us a bit but now we have built something here with 99.9% of people who watch are legends! The negative comments are common anymore and they don’t effect me!! Cheers for the support legend!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Doesn't matter what we do in this world there will always be the negative people that feel the need to voice their opinion. Love your channel and all the best for the future. Cheers, Brad.
Thanks Brad! Cheers for commenting all the time and being a local on the channel!! Means more than you know 🤙🏽🍻🍻
Fantastic video! What an incredible review, with amazing footage to back it up too! Shows the safety and reliability of the products too. I love iTechworld so much!!! I quite often see trolls/misguided types post stuff like you mention online. I've also witnessed it in person when explaining I'll be using portable power stations to run what I need at my place. ("You can't do that!" Yeah I can and I'm quite fine thanks!) and OMG, so much red dust!!!!
Thanks legend! Think you hit the nail on the head with your comment!! Good on ya mate! Keep it simple keep it fun haha
From the South Island NZ. Have been enjoying watching your videos especially when you were here in NZ.
Your quality of filming and editing is brilliant.
Thanks heaps for your guys hard work, very much appreciated.
I’m currently building a 200 at the moment too, but we tow a 5m boat and live in cape York.
I’ve been tempted to put a lithium under the bonnet this time. But my hilux has had 2 lead acids under the bonnet and the house battery in the back. Tried and tested and works.
If we lived down south I would try it, but with the constant hot weather I can’t see it being a good option without building a cooling system to manage the temperature of the battery at all times.
Hey mate! That’s awesome sounds exciting! How good is your neck of the woods! I reckon this battery could handle it! Give it a crack next time your lead acids cark it! Thanks legend!
Another great vid. My wife and I enjoy your 'give it ago' approach. The haters are the minority. The silent majority enjoy you vids, the information you provide; even if it means don't try this, is fantastic. Keep up the great work.
Thanks K
Thanks legend!! Appreciate that kind comment and support! Glad you find some good info in our videos haha 😂
Great Video Sarah and Keelan. Thanks heaps. Very informative.
Thanks legend!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great video was looking at getting the itech world 100ah super slim lithium battery and putting it behind seat in our Prado but after watching your video I have found a better option the under bonnet will work thanks so much
Mate I've had another brand 100ah lithium under bonnet of my 150 for over a year, running a fridge 24/7, off road, winter, summer, not a problem. Ignore the negative vibes, live your dream.
Hell yeah mate!! That’s sick! They can do it! Cheers for the support! Up the Prado 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Love your electrical ed and seeing your travels. In the western USA we have lots of national forest and BLM land. It’s awesome. But seeing your environments makes me so want to see WA.
Don’t even worry about the haters. They are always going to be there. For every one of them there are hundreds of people who appreciate great content! Thanks for taking us along. Blessings!
Haters are gonna hate guys BUT remember there are a lot of us around that love and support you guys. Looking forward to more of your travels soon xx
That’s it Helen! We are so lucky to have legends like you!! Cheers for the kind comment ❤️
Great video mate ! Have 2 x 120x itechs myself and they've been faultless .
Just about to get 2 × 120s myself, I live on the road and they are a must
Use our code SKT for extra discount mate save some money
Once again great advice. Must be so gratifying to prove these people wrong. Just remember it doesn't matter what others think. Just trust yourself and keep doing what you are doing. Enjoy the journey.
Feels good that’s for sure!! ThNks for the comment mate
I run 2 x ITECH 1420CA PRO Lithiums under bonnet for starting and winching duties and a ITECH 120X Lithium under the canopy to run inverters, fridge, lights, chargers etc in the canopy where i sleep. do not have any DC/DC chargers, just a solenoid. Have 2 170 watt solar panels and have done the full length of the East Coast, up the centres of outback NSW, just got back from Cape York and about to head to SA and WA .... no probs with any of the batteries after 11 months and a bit of winching, lots of rough dirt tracks, heaps of corrugations and if you know about 4.2 litre turbo diesels you know about heat ... NO PROBLEMS.
You got the whole catalogue mate that’s awesome!! Good to hear your enjoying them like us! They are well priced 12v company which is rare I guess! Haha I know about the 4.2 heat haha 😂
So glad you proved them wrong brother ! Not point in hating , better off encouraging and giving constructive properly educated advice :)
Motor on guys !!
Thanks it Robert!! Thanks mate really appreciate it
Love the guys at Nolans pushing the Prado on the tail light lenses . 120X is a top bit of gear at a killer price .
Haha thanks mate!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Great video guys. I just bought a JS80 Jump Starter from iTechworld after watching your review and using your code thanks. It came just in time as my hilux alternator has chucked it in. I'm still waiting for the mechanic to get the parts so in the mean time it has been my battery to start the ute. And it works every bit as well as advertised. I'll definitely be recommending people watch your videos and buy iTechworld products. Keep up the good work. 💪
Awesome good to hear! JS80 has that much power! People jump some huge engines and tractors off them!!
Awesome mate we appreciate that! Tell them about the SKT discount code ! Cheers
Thank you for the honesty
Thanks John!! Appreciate it mate!! 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Doing well guys I’m loving it, gives me useful tips when I go travelling on my bike.
Well indeed who ever said lithium don’t like heat nor water or corrugation.. you proved them wrong and shows what they know.. as an ex bike mechanic I run lithium in most my bikes although these days the bigger bikes are coming out standard with lithium batteries and 90% of the time under the seat and extreme outback conditions with engine heat rising ect doesn’t affect the battery nor does the corrugated roads and I’ve submerged my bike in some pretty deep water with no affect.. there always haters maté because you’ve done better then them
You guys rock.. keep it up
I had same cruiser maybe tad older mine was but looks similar in the end although you’ve got few more mods.. wish I kept it 👍👍
Thanks legend appreciate the comment and the support!! You should of kept the cruiser mate haha
Yuh indeed.. regret it now. Good car
Good job guy’s, nice recaps here an there, dont let the hecklers, trolls, idiots get u down ur doing a great job and I applaud you for doing this stress test for me, because I haven’t been too sure if I could use lifepo4 under bonnet or not due to heat, & I know ur new 200 series gets pretty hot under the bonnet and the fan throws it toward the driver side battery, so I would consider some heat shielding &/or venting there if u can.
I like to have a set of Maxwell Capacitors with jumper leads attached handy for quick jumps starts of anything up to a Steiger Tractor and they are also a handy buffer for ur batteries & inverter on heavier loads, I was entertaining putting them under my 200 series bonnet as a starter battery because when I tried them on it with no batteries hooked up, it started faster than any heavy duty battery has started it before, but have recently purchased a 25Amp hybrid lithium battery/capacitor all-in-one that takes up the space of about a 50-75Amp size lead acid battery footprint, but only weighs a few kgs, they are an Australian brand, FKR I think, check em out on YT if ur interested, they are sold as a heavy duty cranking battery, it limits ur cranking battery capacity to 25A (Lithium) though but can deliver up to almost 10,000 Amps spontaneaously for a nice quick start, and could possibly do so at 8-10v, I reckon one would be a nice toy to leave attached to ur battery/inverter setup to take up surges a bit, & as a spare Goto if u do need to have or give someone a quick start/boost. I know every inch is precious for u guy’s, but just something worth consideration, a nice light battery pack than can start a Dozer or use as a portable for outside fridge & lights on a panel it could keep a small camp going indefinately with a little solar charging daily. Cheers
Thanks mate appreciate the support!! It used to really effect us reading troll comments but not we barely get any and when we do it sort of dosnt effect us at all!!
Thanks for the info appreciate it 🤙🏽🤙🏽
Based on logic, I decided to install an eBay lithium auxiliary, (purely on $), under bonnet of my 80 series over a year ago. It has not seen the abuse yours did, but I recently went from Tassie to Cape York, (only the PDR not the Tele), about a month before your trip, and I also have had no issues. I am now convinced that these are solid technologies. I will be upgrading to an iTechWorld before my next trip - just for added insurance. Thanks for your candid reviews.
That’s awesome news mate! Love hearing good stories like this!! They are very capable things!! Cheers legend!!
Not designed for under the bonnet
ITECH120X battery is
@@gregdogg10 True, but as it was an eBay special and i was not dependent on it, I was willing to take the risk., Turns out I have been justified as in Sarah n Keelan's experience, it hasn't missed a beat, which surprised me as parts of outback Qld and the PDR are harsh. One of the differences in my setup is I required a DC->DC - wish I had known about the iTechworld earlier!
@@michaelsullivan5641 there’s was in the caravan
Thanks for the battery review. I wasn’t sure about lithium under bonnet but based on your review ill jump into the itech for both my 4wd’s.
Cheers mate! It works, And we think we have tested it to the point any traveller would!
I have had the same battery in the back of my Hilux in a kickass battery box (with a lithium charging profile). For almost 3 years now. I've done some serious tracks and touring Australia. I have never had a problem that wasn't self created (left the fridge empty on full tilt in the middle of summer). Admittedly mine is not under bonnet but I like you copped a bunch of crap from some "experts" about simply buying that brand let alone lithium.
Awesome to hear legend! Love hearing others reviews glad your enjoying the itech gear!! Cheers
Yeah great review i also have this battery under bonnet of my land cruiser and it also has been in my car for two years and still going strong
Thanks legend! Boom! They work and they affordable! Awesome to hear Ross!! Cheers legend
I am so happy to have ran into your account. You both are a huge inspiring. Young Smart and powerful couple.
Thank you for sharing your knowledg. ❤
Great video mate, been researching a bit seeing if I can put lithium under bonnet as well as wondering if itech was any good 👍
We love itechworld mate! It’s affordable and quality which is rare these days!! Under bonnet works great on these did it for ages!!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels great to hear mate cheers, love the videos guys
Mate I meant to ask, what’s the difference with the pro model batteries and the non pro?
Hi guys, have just purchased the Itechworld 120x. What battery tray suits this battery? It does not fit in my ARB battery tray (N70 battery). I have a 2022 N80 hilux.
Awesome!! I have no idea kerry sorry I’ve owned prados and the 200.
Apart from movie quality editing and filming the haters are just disgruntled unhappy fuckas. Ignore them. You guys are honest, genuine and 99% of your viewers love your content. Keep rockin on you legends 👍
Thanks Sam! Haha couldn’t agree more mate!! Leave them in the rear view!! Cheers for the support mate love how you articulated this comment! 😂🍻🤙🏽
Great video guys. I have all iTech gear including the 120X. Had the negative comments mostly from people repeating stuff they heard. In other words, talking cr&p.
Thanks Richard! I’ve heard the same stuff, some guy read something on Facebook from his brothers mates, uncles sister hampster so it must be true haha 😂
U guys from day dot have been natural honest and a treat to watch . Haters suck and most of it as u probs know is envy eh .

If only there was some magical way to put a fan and direct cooler air to it 😂.
"Instead of telling people what im going to do, im going to tell them what ive done" my new favorite qoute 👍
I know this is a older video, congrats on a well presented and informative vid . A massive tip of the hat to you guys
Great vid, out of interest what charger did you have. We currently have a Projecta DC charger for our second batter in the 200 series. Would love to know if this will work in the real world
Hey Damon cheers mate! We have a intervolt lead acid and agm only dcdc charger so I reckon your projects will work! Call itechworld they will know instantly
I've been running mine off an old ctek non lithium for 2 years without any problems. I'd say your projecta one will be fine
I run an Itech world in my camper trailer as well.
Nice mate good stuff
Sounds good.
I will likely go with one under bonnet as my thing won't be doing anywhere near what yours does and the weight savings are always nice.
Gotta say that if some of these places are that hard to get to I really couldn't be bothered.
5 minutes on small corrugations and I've had a gutsful.
One think I would take away from something you said is to always have a manual backup or fallback in case things go wrong.
Manual access to water and perhaps some freeze dried meals etc for if you do get stuck or something dumps it's load for whatever reason.
Thanks mate! Make sure you use our code to save money! (Code: SKT) Now is the cheapest they get!
For sure we should carry more canned/ dried foods! Thanks for the suggestion mate
@@SarahandKeelanTravels No worries mate.
I have a zombie apocalypse bugout bag with all sorts of stuff in it.
Probably never use it but at least it's there if I do.

Our friend had their chassis brake on their caravan doing the Gibb a few months ago.
This was a while ago!! Hear a lot of stories of vans breaking poor buggers hope they are alright
Awesome guys 💪🏻 keep doing what you’re doing, you guys convinced me to purchase my Itech 120x and it’s never missed a beat.
Thanks legend!! We stand firmly behind there products! Tough reliable and affordable!!
had mine for a year now still going strong .
Hey mate! Good bit of kit,
Cheers Johnny
mate most the haters on you tube are wannabe 4x4 people usually sit on couch never getting of there arses never experiencing life for them self think because they have read something in a book that they are experts never let these small minded fools effect you they really not worth your time im about to embark on a lwb 4x4 sprinter van build and ill be using most of what i have learnt here as a base to build from appreciated both of you keep vlogging hope to see you one day on the tracks
Epic bro good work guys 🌅👌⚡️ Setting my setup started again after a few years away from touring. Keep it up & cya on the tracks
awesome informative video mate we are traveling aus at the moment and having trouble with our current agm dual batt setup in the car looking just trying to work out how I can fit itechworld lithium under bonnet in my tray of the 105 series as my second batt tray is only 300mm long but hopefully itechworld can sort something out for us 👍🇦🇺
For sure mate!! We fit it under the bonnet of the Prado with some simple mods!! Don’t forget to use our discount code skt! Right now it will get you extra discount on top of the itechworld sale
Well ya showed those mufties! Haters & trolls making comments like that probably googled their comments from their arm chair. You both should be very proud of your journey & growth so far. Great review on a great product 👏👏👏💪
Thanks Jacob & Heidi!! Appreciate it legends!! Keep grinding
Thanks to seeing you guys on UA-cam and socials we have just put 2 lithium batteries under our lc200 from battery power centre in Bunbury they had 4 types to best suit our needs we got more power in the 2 batteries than we got in our 3 agms and saved 65kg in weight only went to them because I hate electrics😅😂 otherwise I would have put itechs in
Thanks so much for putting us down this avenue it’s made a big difference to our truck with keeping under gcm/gvm and wouldn’t have done it without your advice 🤙🏻
Awesome Ben! Glad to hear it mate! Glad your finding some value in our videos! That’s our aim ! Glad we can help mate 🤙🏽🍻
yep I have an itech in my pod trailer sitting pretty close to ontop of the axle and just done 17,000k’s around WA to all the corrugated road hotspots, the battery along with the 76 model yellow Engel were faultless, these batteries are gangsta, I had a hardkorr in there and it totally died after a short trip to Warwick 🙄, enerdrive and Itech batteries are on par I think.
Thanks awesome Jason!! Good to hear other people have tested these things out!! Awesome mate! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽
Another awesome video, thank you so much, so great to have you give good advice based on your real experience's,
Thanks Paul! Glad you enjoyed it mate!! Thanks for the comment
So just as a query at 19:17 is this the point you are saying it was submerged?
Haters gonna hate! Just keep killing it mate! 🤙🏽
Thanks legend 🤙🏽🤙🏽
You stuck it right up them 😂.
Was looking at getting an itech battery to replace my AGM but itech said that I'd need a dcdc charger. Getting a 50a and dcdc charger and putting it in the back of the Pajero.
Will one day look at swapping cranking battery to a itech 1420.
Keep up the good work guy's.
Nice one mate!!
I’m sure your after some weight saving with the cranking battery! They are only 8kg even lighter than the 120x! Make sure you use our code SKT and put some of that hard earned cash back in your pocket! Cheers
Hey mate, loved the review. Because of you guys I’m looking into the itechworld baTteries for my new set up. Looking forward to using them! Cheers
Awesome Toby!! Thanks for the support mate! We 100% recommend, right now they will be as cheap as they get for a long time!!
We are about to put the whole itechworld catalogue in our new caravan! Discount code is SKT to save extra money
I've been using 120x's for years and they're a great value battery. great video guys 👍😊
Awesome JC good to hear stuff like this!! 🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
Great episode, personally agree with you about the online trolls and hates but as you said, your personal experience speaks louder than their typing. I was just doing more reading on the iTech website after this video and they specifically call out that the battery is not to be used for cranking? So just interested to know if using it under bonnet for cranking will affect warranty?
Cheers for the support mate!!
I have tried to crank off it and it didn’t really
Like it to much! I know your not meant to maybe the need to upgrade there website! The 1420 pro from itech is there 8kg cranking battery with 1420cca
I am a 55yr old female starting my van journey I have a question. I have an FP2000 pecron power bank and want to charge it from my alternator what size converter should I buy? If you can find time shoot me your thought. Thanks in advance
Been running dual lithium (DCS) under bonnet for 4 years.. works a treat
That’s awesome Jay!! I’ve heard good things!!
Theres always an exception to the rule, good on you, a like from me.
Got a query for you guys, and for all that travel with Lithoum batteries....so lithium doesn't like the cold, and from what I have read, a battery shouldn't be charged or discharged when below zero degrees....so how do you guys cope down south with the cold?
Nicely done, used the code the other day works a treat
Look no one hates Sarah 😂😂.
Thanks Stewie!! Hope your well mate!! Haha Sarah gets some haters too believe it or not haha 😂 99.9% of people are awesome mate
Well said mate. Experience is the key!
Thanks Brett!!
Don't listen to the trolls and haters. They probably don't venture further than the local shopping center. You guy's are living it. Keep it up. But dude, batteries on top of ya board? What were you thinking? 😂
That’s it mate!! Hahah shopping centre mall crawlers driven by keyboard warriors 😂😂 I was just showing how light they are!! 😂
Glad you guys stick to your truth ignore the keyboard warriors - just jealous they aren’t out there doing it! Always keeping it real SKT 👍
That’s it Tracey!! Ignore the crap 🤙🏽🤙🏽 cheers legend
Bloody good honest video, keep smiling, good work guys !!!
Thanks Jeff!! Appreciate it mate! 🤙🏽🤙🏽🤙🏽🍻🤙🏽
Gday, in my opinion and experience doing YT content is not an easy task, there’s so many people that just want to pick shit out of what your doing, on the other hand I’ve found the YT community to be bloody awesome, my channel is all machining and sharing your skills with others is absolutely fantastic, we can all learn from each one’s experiences, you doing honestly proven reviews is priceless in my mind, viewers can rest ashore by watching your experiences that the product is what it is, the world will always have negative people in it sadly but look the other way and charge on, excellent video mate and thanks for sharing, cheers
Thanks matt! You know the feeling about sticking your neck out on UA-cam! I actually watched some of your videos the other day mate!! Loved them! You have skills I do not haha 😂 cheers for the support mate!! Really appreciate it!!
@@SarahandKeelanTravels thanks for taking the time to watch, if you ever need something and you think I can help just yell out
Too easy mate appreciate that I will let you know!!
Great vid mate👍
Interestingly enough, I purchased and installed itech world batteries/chargers/inverters for my new caravan prior to following you guys. Personally I’ve done a load of washing (30mins) while running the AC/Fridge and hot water system. So definitely agree and would recommend itech world gear.
Nice Matt!! Sounds like your really testing max continous discharge rates that’s awesome!! If you buy any more gear use our code SKT!
The Cruiser makes for a pretty epic background. Looks mint 👍
HahHa I agree! Bit distracting for the viewers if anything haha 😂
Wondering if they can handle the cold as well as they did the heat...
