Having bought a LG PA72G DLP LED projector I needed a power source for mobile presentations.
This air cooled energy case is able to power the projector theoreticcaly for nearly 3 hours at full brightness.

But you can also use it for any other equipment powered by 230V.

Technical specs:

- integrated 300W power inverter (900W peak power)

Sorry for the delayed reply. The battery has to be charged with an external charger. But that's no problem. Just open the case with two clicks and plug a car battery charger to the batteries.

Wow, that's a serious mobile battery. Nice integration into the aluminum case. Does the power inverter also allow you to charge the battery from the mains, or does that require an external charger?

  Are you sure? yes | no
