Kalahari Overland System | Lithium1200 + Kalahari400W + 15m FlexoLink + Bracket
The Kalahari Overland System pairs the Lithium1200 portable power station with the Kalahari400W — Flexopower's highest-wattage legacy solar panel. Built for overlanders and caravan owners who need maximum solar harvest with a proven mid-range power station. One purchase. Plug and play. Nothing else required.
Park in the shade. Put the panel in the sun. The 15m FlexoLink cable gives you the flexibility to position your solar panel for maximum harvest while keeping your power station cool and protected.

Mobile Dual Battery System — With the FlexoDrive DC-DC Unit
The Lithium1200 in this kit becomes a complete vehicle-based Mobile Dual Battery System when paired with the FlexoDrive DC-DC unit, installed by a qualified Flexopower installer. The DC-DC unit manages alternator charging intelligently at 320W — protecting your vehicle's battery while delivering consistent charge to the Lithium1200 while you drive. Engine On / Off Auto Sense detects when the engine starts and stops, automatically beginning and ending the charge cycle without any manual intervention. Monitor and control the system via the FlexoApp.
Unlike a fixed dual-battery installation, the Lithium1200 moves with you — between vehicles, trailers, camp and home. Your power investment is not locked into one vehicle.
The FlexoDrive DC-DC unit is available through our qualified installer network only — not sold direct. Contact us to find a Flexopower installer near you.
