Does anyone know about ARK Portable battery boxes and where to buy them

Lee, sounds like the ArkPak would work great for you.
I would also look into getting one of these to keep it charged up in the field.

RenogyⓇ Foldable Solar Suitcase Battery Charger 100W
You can order direct from the company or from Amazon, as with Amazon they still ship directly from Renogy.
It includes everything to hook it to the ArkPak to charge it.

There is current a 10% off coupon, if you buy direct from Renogy, by September 1:

Thanks Corey, I went ahead and ordered the Ark Pak last night but found out the Exide battery like yours is no where to be found. Went to Exide's website and wonder if Chapter 11 reorganization is affecting supplies. I had also followed your link for the Renogy and figure that will be a part of my kit as well! Thanks so much.

You are welcome.
I had got my Exide from Amazon, looks like you may have to look for a different battery then.
Yes, the Renogy solar panel is very nice.

Ordered a Sears Diehard Platinum Marine 31M based on what others have said here and on other forums. Thanks for all the help everyone. Waiting to hear from Ark Pak on when mine will arrive, with holiday I probably won't hear until next week.

Just ordered the Ark Pak. Looking forward to trying it out with my solar suitcase.

Our ArkPak got installed in the Manley Trailer for our July issue. So far it's worked out very well, and we added a solar panel to keep it topped off when out in the woods. Pretty nice piece of gear overall

Got a Lifeline 12v 125ah deep cycle battery (made by Concord) today to power the Ark Pak.

Hi Brett -

I was happy to get my Arkpak yesterday but am a little puzzled by the Australian 240v plug rather than US 110v plug. Was this an error?

Will this battery fit the ArkPak?

I found an AGM Interstate deep cycle battery with 100 ah for $179 with free shipping. Its dimensions are ever so slightly larger than a group 31. Will this fit? According to my measurements, it will. Just want some reassurance before I have them order it for me.

I just opened my Ark and like what I see. I just wish it had better handles for lifting.

Does anyone know what size anderson plug fits ?

I am fairly certain it is a 50 amp Anderson connector.

I just packed mine up for the Land Rover National Rally, but I double check in the morning if need be.

Would this be a suitable battery for an arkpak?

Thanks in advance! =)
