FAQ's

TheThumper range is used as a portable Dual Battery System for vehicles which cannot fit a dual battery system under the bonnet. The unit offers the versatility of a dual battery system, which can be separated from the vehicle and used as a portable battery bank that offers the capability of spike protected jump-starting.

What Type of Batteries are used in the Thumper Range

The battery packs consist of the latest AGM cells; Absorbed glass mat. These cells are completely maintenance free so they require little to no attention. Simply charge and use. The AGM batteries allow for not only deep cycling but they additionally allow for cranking ability. The cells like to charge at a voltage rate between 13 – 14 Volts, which means that they are fully capable of charging via the supplied vehicle charging kit.

Will they leak or spill?

No. The AGM batteries completely sealed batterys, meaning that you will not have to worry about the cells leaking acid, fuses, gases or any nasty odours. Due to the fact the batteries are completely sealed, it allows for the batteries to be stored on any one of their sides – even upside-down while working to full efficiency!

Can I store the unit in a non-ventilated area, such as under a bed?

Yes. Considering that the batteries are completely sealed it means that the batteries do not require a ventilated area for storage. This results in the perfect battery to have stored in an ‘out of the way’ area such as under a bed in a caravan or under a vehicle’s seat, even in a draw in the back of 4WD!

Can I use Solar Panels to charge my unit?

Yes. Solar panels can be used for charging and/or maintaining the Thumper battery packs. Keep in mind that solar panels that are rated at 10 watts or higher must be regulated when connected to any type of battery. This will prevent the solar panel from over-charging the battery and potentially causing damage.

Check out our the Split Fold Briefcase Solar Panel which is perfect companion for the Thumper.

Will it run my fridge?

Yes it will and many other appliances also! One of the main accessories in which people use the Urban range is for the running 12/240Volt compressor type fridges. As the batteries are deep cycle it allows for the running of accessories even while the battery is charging through vehicle charging, Solar or even 240 Volt!

We do not recommend running gas fridges for prolonged durations due to the high power draw (approx 12 + Amps per hour).

How long will the Urban battery last while running my appliances?

The duration of time that the Urban battery packs will last with running accessories such as a fridge largely depends on the amp draw of the appliance in question.

For example: a fridge with an average draw of 1 amp per hour would run for 30 hours with a 30 amp hour unit..
To work out the size you need simply multiply the average amp per hour draw of your fridge by the amount of hours you want your fridge to run for. Take into account that if you are driving a little every day your unit will be recharging i.e 1 hour of driving you will have put 25% charge back into your battery.

Feel free to call us anytime for help choosing the correct battery size.

Can I use inverters for 240 Volt appliances?

Yes. We now offer a range of ‘Inverter – units’, which allows for the units 12 Volt power to be converted into 240 Volts to allow for the running of 240Volt appliances. The Inverter units come in a variety of sizes ranging from 60AH with 300 watts at 240 Volts through to 90 AH with 1,000 watts at 240 Volts. These units will allow for the running of appliances such a laptop computers, recharging phone and camera batteries to even running TV’s, DVD players or even powering tools such as drills and 4 inch angle grinders!

Will the Thumper start my diesel?

Yes. Each of the Thumper / Outback units hold a differing CA output, which means that the cranking ability varies between the sizes of each unit. *Please refer to the brochure below which indicts the cranking ability that each unit holds

Can I charge straight from my vehicle’s alternator?

Each of the Thumper units that are sold are included with with an ‘In car charging kit’ that corresponds to the size of unit that is purchased.

These kits allow you to recharge the unit straight from your vehicle’s alternator with an approximate recharge time between 2 – 4 hours (depending on your vehicles alternator). These kits have been designed for the Thumper range to include an ignition – activated isolator which allows you to isolate your unit for the running of your accessories once your vehicle’s ignition is off. This means that your Thumper unit will charge via your ‘In car kit’ when the ignition is on (even if you are discharging the unit) and will be separated from your vehicle’s main battery once your ignition has been switched ‘off’ – you’ll never flatten your vehicles battery while running your accessories again!

Is jump-starting my vehicle safe?

YES! Jump – starting with the Thumper range is perfectly safe for both the unit and your vehicle. The Thumper range is completely ‘spike protected’ which means that you will not incur any of those nasty voltage spikes which could potentially fry a vehicle’s internal circuits and cause you thousands of dollars in vehicle repairs.

What is the life expectancy of the batteries used?

The AGM cells used in the Thumper range have a life expectancy between 5 – 9 years. The life of the Thumper range largely depends on the method in which the unit is charged. Over 10 years on the market has proved that the life expectancy of the units increase when the units are charged via the provided ‘In car charging kit’. When the unit is not in use (discharged regularly), the best method of maintaining the battery is leaving the unit connected to its ‘In Car kit’. This maintains the battery and aids in prolonging the life of the cells used in the battery pack.

What is the warranty of the Thumper?

The Thumper offers a 2-year warranty from the date of your purchase.

What do I do when my cells in my unit die?

Although the Thumper range offers a 2 year warranty and has a life expectancy between 5 – 9 years… We offer our customers the chance to have their unit repacked when the cells do eventually die out! Once a customer has paid for a repack we offer our customers a new 2-year manufacturer warranty on the unit from the date of repack.

240 Volt Charging

Only use fully regulated automatic battery chargers to charge your Thumper unit. Do not exceed 30% of the unit’s capacity (eg 75 AH Thumper use a maximum charger of 26 Amps).

Can I charge my unit and discharge it at the same time?

YES! This is the perfect way to use your power pack. Each socket on the unit can be used to discharge or recharge the unit. (We do not recommend charging the unit straight from a vehicle’s cigarette socket, as the unit will never reach full charge).

Can I recharge my unit straight from my generator?

Yes, in most cases. BE CAREFUL not to let the voltage exceed 14.5 Volts or damage will occur to the unit and you will void your warranty. We recommend putting a regulated battery charger between the generator and your unit to ensure that no voltage spikes occur.

What is an Amp Hour?

Amp hour is the rated capacity of the unit. If a unit holds 60 AH and you discharged the unit using a fluorescent light that draws 1 Amp per hour the unit would last for a duration of 60 hours before needing recharging.

Where and how are the Thumper units made?

The Thumper range is proudly South Australian made and owned. Each unit is hand made from start to finish to produce the best portable dual battery system with the highest cranking ability available on market!
