SFC Energy will present a new edition of the EFOY GO! power pack at Caravan Salon 2018 in Duesseldorf, Germany, through September 2. The battery capacity of the new models has been increased by 25 percent to 25 Ah/300 Wh. The efficient mobile power storage systems will now be available in two versions – with an inverter and without.
The new EFOY GO! features up to three 12 V sockets, one of them a 12 V high current socket, and 4 USB sockets, plus a 230 V socket in the 400 W inverter version. The EFOY GO! powers and charges several devices simultaneously and allows parallel recharging and discharging. At a weight of less than six kg the compact EFOY GO! can be easily transported anywhere. The new EFOY GO! features are SFC Energy’s reaction to retail customers’ and consumers’ requests for even more convenient, reliable power on the road.
The models use innovative lithium battery technology. In combination with the environmentally friendly EFOY fuel cell, it enables a large number of applications and intelligent combinations – the little power pack can be charged by solar module, 12 V car socket or at home from the grid. The new EFOY GO! models will be available at retailers beginning in 2019.
At Caravan Salon Duesseldorf SFC Energy will showcase the new EFOY GO! models at the EFOY booth 13A36 in hall 13.

This is a good idea. But, it's really late to the party. Remember when cars were 6v, and they changed to 12v? These days, the only 12v systems are cars. Tractors, tools, and other DC loads/systems are usually higher than 12v.
I'd like to see a car alternator without an internal ground, so you could join two in series to get 24v. It could always be grounded, as usual, if you want. But how can you "unground" existing ones in use today?
Where was this when 12v was more popular? It's also probably too late to come out with products made for 6v cars.
