Frequently Asked Questions

1. How can I determine if the GoFurther Battery Box is compatible with my existing battery setup?

   If you have a 12V deep-cycle battery that fits within the internal dimensions of 360 x 185 x 240 mm (LxWxH), you’re good to go. It works with Lithium, AGM, Gel, Lead-Acid, and Calcium batteries—they’re all supported.

2. What type of devices can I charge simultaneously with the multiple outputs on the GoFurther Battery Box?

   The box allows you to power up to 11 devices simultaneously, featuring USB-C and Quick Charge ports for phones/tablets, two 12V outlets, and a high-current Anderson socket for larger items such as refrigerators or inverters.

3. Can the GoFurther Battery Box charge my devices while driving, and how long will it take to fully recharge the battery during travel?

   Yes, it charges from your vehicle’s alternator and solar. With the built-in 25A DCDC charger, expect up to a full recharge in a few hours of driving in favourable conditions.

4. What is the maximum power output through the 175A Anderson plug, and how does it handle high-power devices like inverters?

   175A. This Anderson plug was specifically designed to handle heavy loads, such as inverters.

5. Is the GoFurther Battery Box suitable for both 4WD use and stationary camping setups?

   Absolutely. It’s built tough for bumpy off-road trips, but also ideal for camping or backyard use. Just plug in and power up, wherever you are.

6. Can I integrate additional solar panels into the GoFurther Battery Box setup to increase its charging capacity?

   Yes. You can wire in more panels using the solar Anderson input for bigger solar setups and faster charging.

7. What are the advantages of having both Anderson input/output connectors and solar inputs in the GoFurther Battery Box?

   It’s super flexible. You can charge on the road, from solar, or even power 12V appliances directly. You’ve got power covered no matter where you are or what gear you're using.

8. How does the built-in auto-reset circuit breaker protect my system, and what should I do if it trips?

   It prevents damage by cutting power during a power surge or overload. If it trips, remove the load, wait a few seconds, and it will reset itself.

9. How does the iTECHDCDC25 charger optimise charging for different battery types (LiFePO4, AGM, Gel, etc.)?

   It automatically adjusts to suit the battery you have, eliminating the need for manual setting. Different chemistries have varying processes and charging variances.

10. Can I use the GoFurther Battery Box with my existing 12V or 24V alternator, or do I need specific voltage requirements for the DCDC charger to work effectively?

    As long as your alternator or vehicle system operates between 9–32V, the charger will function properly.

11. How does the LCD display and voltmeter on the GoFurther Battery Box help me monitor my battery's health during long trips?

    The display shows real-time battery voltage so you know how much charge you have. It’s easy to check at a glance, meaning no guesswork.

12. What is the maximum solar input supported by the GoFurther Battery Box, and how does the MPPT technology affect charging efficiency?

    The DCDC charger allows for up to 25A of input from solar. Its MPPT tracking extracts more power from your panels than PWM systems, so it charges your battery faster.

13. Can I use the GoFurther Battery Box with my other portable power solutions, like a smaller battery pack or additional inverter?

    Yes. With its multiple ports and Anderson connectors, it works great alongside other gear. Ensure you follow safety and wiring instructions.

14. How does the iTECHDCDC25 charger handle fluctuations in power from my alternator or solar source?

    It smooths things out automatically. Whether your alternator revs or clouds pass by your panels, the charger delivers steady, regulated power to your battery.

15. What is the impact of the GoFurther Battery Box's 50A auto-reset circuit breakers on safety during high-power usage?

    These breakers prevent damage from overloads but reset themselves automatically, so you stay protected and don’t have to fumble with fuses in the middle of nowhere.

16. How do the pre-wired connections and plug-and-play setup simplify installation, and are there any installation tips for optimal performance?

    Pre-wired Anderson plugs, USB ports, and fuses allow you to drop in your battery and wire up easily. We recommend using a proper tray, keeping cables organised and tidy, and setting it up on a flat surface for optimal results.

17. What kind of maintenance is required to ensure the GoFurther Battery Box continues to perform well over time?

    Just keep the battery seated, clean any dust from the outside, and check the voltages occasionally. The box and charger are designed for long-term, worry-free use.

18. Can the GoFurther Battery Box handle extreme outdoor conditions, and how does it perform in high temperatures or wet environments?

    Yes. The ABS case and sealed electronics are designed to withstand heat, dirt, and moisture. Just don’t leave it submerged or fully covered—it’s tough, but not waterproof.

19. What is the difference between the GoFurther Battery Box and other portable power stations in terms of power output and versatility?

    Most power stations are all-in-one units. GoFurther lets you choose your battery size, up to 360 × 185 × 240 mm, supports vehicle charging, solar, and high-current loads, offering more flexibility all around.

20. How does the GoFurther’s USB-C and Quick-Charge ports compare to other charging options in terms of speed and efficiency for devices like smartphones and laptops?

    These ports offer fast charging of up to 80% in approximately 35 minutes for phones or tablets. They’re quicker and more reliable than standard USB ports or USB power banks.
