12V Portable Power Hub by Projecta
If you like the idea of proper off-grid power without permanently wiring a dual battery system into your 4WD, the Projecta 12V Portable Power Hub is a neat solution. Drop in a suitable battery and you’ve got a self-contained power box you can move between vehicles, take into the tent, or leave at the job site while you duck off in the ute.
Power-Hub is designed to turn a standard deep cycle battery into a user-friendly power station. It brings all your connections, protection and monitoring into one tidy unit, so you’re not chasing loose leads and clamps every time you want to run a fridge, charge radios or top up everyone’s phones and tablets.
Whether you’re camping, touring, running a work trailer or setting up a temporary power source on the property, this hub gives you the flexibility to take power where you need it, instead of being tied to the vehicle.
Features
Smart battery gauge
A built-in battery gauge lets you keep an eye on your charge level at a glance, so you know how much usable power you’ve got left and when it’s time to recharge.
10 power outlets
With up to 10 outlets available, you can run and charge multiple accessories at once without fighting over sockets. Ideal for fridges, lights, compressors, radios and charging devices around camp.
Integrated 300W inverter
The built-in 300W inverter lets you safely power smaller 240V appliances such as laptops and other low-draw electronics, handy for work on the road or keeping tech charged while you’re off-grid.
Easy battery fitment
Designed for quick and simple setup, the Power-Hub makes it easy to connect a compatible 12V battery without complex wiring. Once fitted, you have a ready-to-go portable power system.
Portable, practical design
A compact, lightweight housing with carry points makes it easy to move the hub between the vehicle, camp and home storage. Pack it away when you’re done, or leave it ready by the door for the next trip.

Frequently Asked Questions
What type of batteries can I use with the Projecta Power-Hub?
The Power-Hub is compatible with most 12V deep cycle batteries, including AGM, gel, calcium and lithium (depending on model and settings). Always check the manufacturer’s guidelines to ensure your chosen battery is suitable.
Can the Power-Hub run a 12V fridge?
Yes. The Power-Hub is designed for running common camping accessories like 12V fridges, lights, pumps and other low-draw appliances. Runtime will depend on the size and health of the battery you install.
Does the Power-Hub charge the battery as well?
No. The Power-Hub distributes and manages power from the battery but does not charge it. You’ll need an external charger, solar setup or vehicle charging system to keep the battery topped up.
What can I power with the 300W inverter?
The integrated inverter can power small 240V devices such as laptops, camera chargers and other low-draw electronics. High-consumption appliances like kettles, induction cooktops or heaters exceed the 300W limit and cannot be used.
Can I use the Power-Hub inside my tent or camper?
Yes. Once the battery is installed, the unit becomes a self-contained portable power system that can be safely placed inside a tent, camper or shelter. Ensure adequate ventilation and follow battery safety guidelines.
Is the Power-Hub a replacement for a dual battery system?
For many users, yes. It offers similar functionality without permanent wiring, giving you the flexibility to take power away from the vehicle. However, heavy-duty setups or high-demand touring may still benefit from a full dual battery installation.
