Why Switch to a Portable Dual-Battery System for Overlanding?
A Portable Dual-Battery System does the job of a fixed auxiliary battery, but the power station belongs to you rather than the vehicle — so it moves from 4x4 to trailer to camp to home. Flexopower's Lithium stations integrate the battery, MPPT and pure-sine-wave inverter in one tested unit, charge from the alternator via FlexoDrive or from solar, and accept 10–60V (Lithium700/1200) or 12–75V (Lithium2400) solar input. We also set out where a fixed dual battery still earns its place, so you can decide which suits your setup.
Flexopower Lithium1200 | Built Different, Built to Last
Most portable power stations share the same design DNA — polymer shell, cigarette lighter output, sealed battery you will eventually throw away entirely. The Flexopower Lithium1200 was built around four decisions that no other brand in this category has made: a full aluminium enclosure that does not fuel a fire, a user-replaceable battery that survives a decade of use, 14A DC output that runs three fridges simultaneously, and an Anderson SB50 connector that actually stays connected on a rough track. Here is what each of those decisions means in the field.

The new Hi Volt Solar Panels from Flexopower: Kalahari 400W and Kalahari 300W
The Kalahari 400W and 300W are Flexopower's largest foldable solar panels, built with shingled cells encapsulated in Teflon on a lightweight aluminium frame that minimises micro-cracking. Both run at a nominal 24V — 36.5V Vmp, with 8A and 11A Imp — which lowers current in the cable, supports extension runs up to 25m, and improves MPPT charge-controller yield compared with a 12V panel of the same wattage. Maximum system voltage is 200V, so up to four panels can be series-connected for arrays of 1,600W or 1,200W. Each panel ships with an Anderson SB50 connector, tilting support legs, a padded carry bag and a 5-year manufacturing warranty.
