Thank you.

Very helpful. Thank you.

[@markh.2899]

This is really quite excellent !

[@dsmith1616]

Since the PowerGate is only for Lead-Acid batteries, is there a similar product available for auto-switching between a pwr supply and a LiFePO4 battery? I don't need that device to be a charger -- just need a simple and small transfer switch option. Thanks, Deb

Epic PWRgate

[@johnpatterson6205]

Their Epic PWRGate will recharge LiFePo batteries. I use one myself.

[@lot1durban]

what device do you recommend is need to be added to a solar panel as an alternate means for charging the batteries?

[@randallgoguen3463]

Use anything but this thing.

GREAT VIDEO

[@Chungustav]

Is this for field use? Why not just use an AC to DC power supply

[@edmundooliver7584]

if you lose ac the radio still is on way SHTF

[@jaythomas3180]

I know nothing about radio but I imagine it could come in handy during a power outage situation, maybe due to inclement weather.

please spend $7,000 on our products because we cant make an all in one unit...

[@jaythomas3180]

I get the frustration as I don't think there are many all-in-one alternatives but hey some of us just need a charger or a power distribution block. I'm not even hooking this to a radio. I have some DC-powered network equipment connected to a backup battery so I just need a charger for my existing battery + psu.

[@Ocrepair]

looks expensive 🎉😂

[@randallgoguen3463]

So you have to keep turning you power supply up and down manually in order to get 13.8 volts at your radio when you actually want to use it. Useless product..

[@ekoms108]

I wish the DC input was on the the other side. doesn't make any sense it's on the outside.

[@mikemcdonald5147]

makes perfect sense thats why they did it that way
