Features to know about

Power and Charging for Life Off-Grid

ArkPak DC20 power connections

Keep food cold in your 12V fridge, run a fan at camp, and recharge your phone or camera batteries without relying on campground hookups. The ArkPak combines 12V DC, USB, and 110V AC power in one portable box. Its built-in 1,000-watt pure sine wave inverter runs compatible household electronics without needing a separate inverter in your camp setup. For longer stays, you can recharge during daylight hours using a solar panel. The built-in MPPT regulator handles the solar charging. The Redarc 120-watt portable solar panel (RED76VR - sold separately) uses an Anderson connection. If your solar panel has MC4 connectors instead, an Anderson-to-MC4 adapter (RED33VR - sold separately) connects the two connector styles.

Take Your Power Wherever You Camp

ArkPak DC20 portable battery box

You don't have to permanently wire a battery system into your vehicle to have power at camp. The ArkPak holds a rechargeable 12V battery between 60 and 140 Ah, giving you the freedom to choose the battery that matches your needs and budget. You could start with an AGM battery or go with a lithium option like the Rich Solar Alpha 1 Pro 100-Ah battery (RS74VR - sold separately). And if your camping needs change down the road, you can upgrade the battery without replacing the entire power station.

Recharge on the Road and Monitor Your Power

ArkPak DC20 LCD display

When you're driving between campsites, the included DC-DC charging system replenishes your battery from your vehicle. You can also recharge at home with the optional AC charger. The LCD gives you a clear picture of what's happening with your power, showing battery percentage, voltage, current, and wattage. It even estimates how much runtime you have left based on your current power use, so you have a better idea of when it's time to recharge.

Video Transcript for Review of Ark Portable Chargers - Power Stations - ARK36FR

Hi everyone, Steven here with etrailer. Let's take a look together at our ArkPack DC20. It's a portable power station with 1000 watt inverter and you can go from 12 volt to 110 volt AC. Now this is compatible with various 12 volt types of batteries from AGM gel, lead acid, lithium, and light VPO. Now this accepts user supply battery, meaning you are gonna have to supply a battery for this for customizable capacity and replacement flexibility. So I've got this unscrewed right now, so you can take this whole top off.

So what you're looking at here is the main top, and of course you got your wire connectors here for the battery and I'll set that down. And then you got the main box, you got a battery strapped down in here. Very simple design. That's basically what the base is. You've got some nine holes down here, you can see those.

Thread it. Then you got your handles on both sides. Very nice, robust. It's gonna be protected for the battery. And then, of course, we can put that back on.

And then with the supplied screws, you could then screw it closed and then you'd be ready to go. So it does have a built-in DC to DC charger that supports in-vehicle recharging while you're driving down the road. And it also does dual import charging. So whether it's 12 volt DC and 240 volt AC, it's going to charge both of them and it's gonna auto sense whichever one it's doing at that time. It also has an integrated AC inverter to supply household style outlets.

So you've got them outlets over here, hopefully right there you can see a little better with the light glare. And then you've got multiple USB ports here, you've got A's, C's, you got 12 volt DC outlets. You've got the control face here and the connections and everything here as well. So you can even connect that and use that style connector as well. And the LCD provides real-time status, giving you voltage current and your battery levels. And what's cool about the different style USBs and all these accessories up here, you can basically charge most household style things that you're used to using, as well as your 12 volt things, whether it's cell phones, tablets, those kind of things as well. And it does have an optional solar panel input to allow renewable recharging when you're off grid. So it's a great item for you. It's very small and compact. It's only 18-5/8-inches long, side to side. 13-5/8-inches tall. And then on a width, I got 9-5/8-inches wide. And again, it's not too heavy. Obviously, there's no battery in at this time. And then of course you get the ArkPack input power source selector as well. So everything here is very high-quality, very robust, simple, yet, very effective for you. So again, if you're looking for something that's a portable power station, give this one a try. I like it. Can't wait to see your all's comments and your reviews of it as well below. I'm Steve with etrailer. Reach out if you have any questions about this or any of the products, and have a great day.
