See & hear the wild mating screams & growls of the adorable Koala including a very rare glimse into them actually mating & even swimming!! Take in the serenity of Australiana, soak up the views & sit & listen a while, understand why the bush is such wonderful therapy. Find out about a near miss disaster with the van, thanks to the DCV Airbase! See the after math of someone's carless 4wd antics. Listen as we share tips & hints for your next adventure 👍

Beautiful spot you have found on the banks of the Murray River. Lithium polymer is an awesome type of battery but it comes with a price. They are very prone to catching fire. Especially when pumping charge into them. Be careful!

Yes beautiful spot indeed. It's Lithium ion that has the tendency to catch fire, polymer is a different tech that is completely safe, it's also what makes them so light 👍

@@familytrippersozstyle6255 I've had a lot of experience with lipo batteries and they are definitely more volatile than lithium ion, or any other lithium chemistry. They are capable of high continuous current draw ( which is great) but they get hot.

@jasonbarnes5605 sorry I stand corrected. These are not lithium polymer, nor are they lipho batteries. These are a brand new, semi solid state technology that is far safer & inherently inert. Have a look here www.kickstarter.com/projects/decarbonventure/decarbon-venture-dcv-airbase-solar-generator They are drilling a drill in the middle of one of their power modules, if you did that to a lithium based battery you would have an explosion & a fireball. We have been road testing them for months in all sorts of conditions, running our air con, washing machine, hair dryers, coffee machines, heaters etc in the boot of our van & in the back of our Ranger & they've never got hot 👍

Hey Shal, as I said to Jason, don’t mess around with replacing the AGMs, replace them with a single Lithium, same useable power, save weight and they charge so much quicker, price will be similar, just change your solar controller to a lithium compatible one :)

It's actually a lot dearer to switch to even just one lithium & it's really not worth it to us for the minimal use we need from them, AGM will be more than fine for this purpose. The airbase covers everything we need, these will only be a back up for the van 👍
