Power and Batteries
In this modern age, we love our electronics. But without power or charge, that device or appliance is as good as a doorstop or paperweight, and is as useless as you-know-what on a bull! It's so important that when you hit the road with your fourbie, your caravan, or your campervan, that you're fully prepared and organised to give your intended site or devices the type of power-love they need. There are many types of power—battery boxes and battery packs, solar panels and solar blankets, portable generators, power inverters, and more. No matter what kind of power you need, BCF has you covered. To calculate how much power you'll need or how long your power will last, check out our Power Calculator for a quick and easy answer!

What can I use these power sources and batteries for?
The sky's the limit mate! First, rack your brain for what you're actually needing the power for. Is it to charge small items such as mobile phones, laptops, iPads, or handheld game devices? Or is it a peace-of-mind type purchase for backup power when you're off grid or stuck in the dark due to a crazy storm? Or maybe you're looking for something to power your whole campsite? Depending on what you need it for, power sources and batteries can be invaluable items to have while on the road, or even at home to keep your humble abode powered in the event of a blackout.
The larger of the power sources such as solar panels, solar blankets, and generators are usually for the more serious camper or off-roader. These bad boys are able to power large campsites, power-hungry devices and appliances, and outdoor tech. They're also cracker for keeping as a backup at home to keep your place powered during storm season, flooding, or a power outage.
The mid-size portable power units such as battery boxes and deep cycle batteries can be super handy when on the road or camping out bush. With the battery boxes having many outputs available to plug in different cords and devices at one time, it can be a godsend when you're trying to pump up that inflatable air mattress or charge your phone or GPS while out in the middle of whoop whoop. Deep cycle batteries on the other hand are a super efficient source of power, and can keep your solar power, boat, or camper trailer powered for longer.
Smaller power sources like batteries are perfect for a range of different uses. They come in heaps of different pack sizes and power types, with brands like Energizer and Eveready leading the way. Torch gone flat? No dramas. Remote gone dead? Don't even stress! Keep a heap of these bad boys in your car, camping box, or bag to always have a power backup ready to go.
