Efoy fuelcell

[Wully]

Fitted my efoy 140 fuelcell today took about 1 hour to completely install. I’m even more impressed when I heard it running or dident hear it. For me it was a hard decision because of initial set up cost and listening to everyone saying how good solar was well it’s pitch black outside and this things still charging my batteries at a cost I know but the piece of mind it’s giving me is great a constant 24 hour energy without sun or a noisy and polluting generator I’ll keep youse posted on running costs over time.

I think for this time of year it's a very elegant solution, but too kin expensive for us to contemplate as we don't often use van this time of year.

Loads of money, but I like it

I know what you mean stevie but I bit the bullet said when I bought van ide do something every year to upgrade it well this things put a big hole in that plan. But I’m chuffed to bits how it works and I’m a numpty at electrical stuff and I fitted it myself in no time so if I can do it so could a monkey

 

[Canalsman]

I'll be very interested in how you get on.

I have been contemplating fitting such an unit myself.

I look forward to viewing and discussing this new technology, Wully.

You just want a swig o ma methanol

If only I had room.

Every days a school day, all new for me, went off to find more info, keep the info coming, a lot of money:, but my only concern will be Annie, she might fancy a change from vodka, and it doesn't look a big enough container, thanks for sharing

Personally I prefer my charge system,sorry to upset you but that is mince compared to
I’ve a bike it’s rear is off the ground and is on a frame there’s a fairy hefty dynamo and when I need to charge the battery up or put the three bars on the fire with the coffee machine on “”””””””””I get the Mrs to cycle like sh- -e also saves money on the slim fast gear
Yeah b4 you say I know what’s going on in yer heads but I’m pleasantly plump and staying that way

Think I got a good deal £3550 with two m10 fuel cartridges and the Bluetooth dongle still expensive but about £500 less than I was originally quoted

Love the principle, not the price.

If thats methanol,dont smoke or flick switches on off,it burns with a clear flame with a faster flash than old petrol,we used to run a 350 jap grass tracker on the stuff 12% power boost.:scared:

Jesus, it would be cheaper to drive to Spain to charge the batteries with your solar panel every time it goes flat.

 

[saxonborg]

Like your desire for new technology, apart from the cost looks like a great unit.

 

[yorkslass]

Came across it a few years ago, and something I'd love to have. The only downside is the cost I'm afraid.

Yes Excellent for the winter

If you use MoHo a great deal in the winter obviously the best solution
Yes expensive but not too much as a proportion of the MoHo initial cost.

I have looked but not for us as We only use MoHo in the summer, albeit for the full 5 or 6 months.
So solar does us fine and the outlay too much for limited advantage.

Winter is different and I would splashout if it could be fitted OK
Much better than a Genny

 

[oldish hippy]

well if ichange van then might look at a lithuim battery or just take a picture and stick it to side of normall battery

 

[Clunegapyears]

Please do review it. We are contemplating a genny. Gulp! Moving very little and a lot of cloud and rain, and that is in Greece! Had to resort to a campsite to fully charge batteries last night ��.

How much does it weigh? How Much methanol are you getting through? Amp limits? Etc

Thanks

LPG on board Generator

I have found this

Telair TG480 - Automatic LPG Generator 12v 20A - Products

For me it is better
1 Onboard - underneath so not compromising space in storage areas (a big plus for us)
2 Uses existing LPG - I have 2 x 11kg tanks
3 No need for 3 fuel Diesel LPG and Fuel Cell only Diesel and LPG
4 How available are the EFOY fuel units
Also LPG fairly Eco-friendly

Similar overall price Worth it if you need it
Given that your battery will never drop too low it has other advantages in that
1 Only 1 LB is needed
2 It should "last forever"
3 Once my LB is full charging goes to EB so no need for the various jump-starter units.

As I put in a previous post we only use MoHo in summer so solar and driving keep both my batteries in a good state
In one sense it is a shame that I do not really need it...but who knows ahead
Now where is that lottery ticket ?
