But the start up current will be higher as it's fitted with a 10a fuse in the plug I think i will get a solar powered one as the other types seem noisy and smelly. This might sound ridiculous but could you in theory get a large solar panel, say 250 watts, and just lie it in your garden? How then does the electricity you've generated get into your house, does the thing have an extension you can plug things into? 250 w at what voltage ? Most are designed to charge caravan batteries :lol:

If your roughing it, Your doing it wrong ;)

Lack of planning on your part doesn't make it an emergency on mine
