Frequently Asked Questions
What does "non-isolated" mean for installation?
Non-isolated means the input negative and output negative share a common ground connection. This is standard for most vehicle dual battery systems where both batteries share the chassis ground. Do not use in applications requiring electrical isolation between input and output circuits.
Can this charge from a 12V alternator while driving?
Yes, this is designed for alternator-based charging in 12V vehicle electrical systems. The charger regulates current draw to protect the alternator while maximizing charge delivery to the auxiliary lithium battery during engine operation.
Where can I mount this charger?
The waterproof, dust-proof construction allows mounting in engine rooms, battery boxes, under seats, external caravan compartments and most other locations. Ensure adequate ventilation around the unit and avoid sealing in completely enclosed spaces.
Does this work with lead-acid auxiliary batteries?
This charger is optimized for lithium chemistry (LiFePO4 and LiMn2O4). While it may charge lead-acid batteries, voltage profiles may not match lead-acid requirements. Use lithium-specific chargers only with lithium batteries for optimal performance and safety.
What is the low voltage protection for?
Low voltage protection prevents the charger from draining your primary (starter) battery below safe levels. When primary battery voltage drops too low, the charger reduces or stops auxiliary charging to preserve starting capacity.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I use this soundbar with my caravan's 12V system?
Yes, the Sonic48 operates on 12V DC with 10-18V input range compatibility, specifically designed for caravan and RV electrical systems. The included cigarette adaptor connects to standard 12V sockets, consuming maximum 24W during operation and less than 0.2W in standby mode for minimal battery drain. The AC power adaptor enables mains operation when connected to shore power at caravan parks.
How does the VESA mounting system work?
The included L-type metal brackets mount directly onto your TV's VESA mounting points (the standard screw holes on TV backs), allowing the soundbar to mount cleanly aligned with your TV without requiring separate wall brackets or mounting hardware. This provides integrated appearance perfect for caravan installations where mounting surfaces are limited and clean installations are essential.
What is Bluetooth 5.0 and how does it improve connectivity?
Bluetooth 5.0 provides improved wireless range, faster connection speeds, and more stable audio streaming compared to older Bluetooth versions. You'll experience fewer dropouts, better sound quality, extended range enabling smartphone placement further from the soundbar, and faster pairing with devices for seamless wireless audio streaming in caravan environments.
Can I connect the soundbar to my TV's digital audio output?
Yes, the Sonic48 includes both coaxial and optical digital inputs for connecting to TV digital audio outputs, providing superior sound quality compared to analog connections. Most modern TVs include optical (TOSLINK) or coaxial digital audio outputs - simply connect using the included coaxial cable or use an optical cable (commonly included with TVs) for high-quality digital audio transmission.
What happens when I switch between input sources?
The remote control enables easy switching between Bluetooth, USB, AUX, SD card, coaxial, and optical inputs without disconnecting cables. The soundbar remembers the last-used input source and automatically reconnects to paired Bluetooth devices when powered on, providing convenient operation without requiring manual input selection every time you use different audio sources.Legendary Products & Support From Authorized Dealers

Keep your berley trail consistent and your bait lasting longer with this corrosion-resistant weighted cage.
The DNA SBC002 is a medium-sized berley cage engineered for Australian saltwater conditions. Constructed entirely from marine-grade stainless steel, this cage delivers a controlled berley trail that attracts fish without wasting expensive bait mix. The weighted base keeps the cage stable in strong currents-ideal for pier fishing, boat anchoring, or rock platform sessions along the coast. A flip latch lid at the top allows quick refills without fumbling with complicated closures, while the solid stainless steel wire handle makes retrieval and repositioning straightforward. At 125mm diameter and 260mm high, it holds enough berley for extended sessions while remaining compact enough to store in tackle boxes or boat compartments.

Features & Benefits
Controlled Berley Distribution: The mesh design releases berley gradually, creating a consistent scent trail that draws fish to your lines without dumping your entire mix in minutes. Perfect for targeting snapper, bream, or trevally in tidal flows.
Built for Saltwater: Stainless steel construction resists rust and corrosion from constant saltwater immersion. Whether you're fishing Perth's metro beaches, rock platforms along the south coast, or anchored offshore, this cage won't degrade after a season of hard use.
Weighted Base Stability: The weighted bottom keeps the cage planted in fast-flowing currents—no floating or tumbling that disrupts your berley trail. Particularly effective when fishing channels, river mouths, or structure where current is unpredictable.
Quick-Access Flip Latch: Refill mid-session without wrestling with screw tops or wire ties. The flip latch opens one-handed, so you can top up berley without setting down your rod or losing focus on the bite.
Versatile Deployment: Use it off piers and jetties (suspend on rope), from boats (lower alongside your drift or anchor), or on rock platforms (secure in pools or crevices). The solid wire handle makes retrieval simple even with wet, slippery hands.
Compact Medium Size: At 125mm x 260mm, it strikes a balance between capacity and portability. Holds enough mix for half-day sessions without taking up excessive space in your tackle kit or boat storage.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size berley chunks fit through the mesh? The mesh allows small to medium-sized berley particles to disperse gradually. Pre-mix or chop pilchards, mullet, or commercial berley into 10-20mm pieces for best results.
Can I use this in freshwater? Yes, though it's designed for saltwater. Stainless steel is safe for freshwater use, but the weighted base may be overkill in calm river or lake conditions.
How do I attach it to a rope or chain? Thread your line or rope through the solid wire handle at the top. Use a secure knot or carabiner clip to prevent loss in strong current.
Will it rust after repeated saltwater use? Stainless steel resists corrosion, but rinse with fresh water after each session and dry thoroughly to maximise lifespan. Avoid leaving it submerged for extended periods when not in use.
How much berley does it hold? Approximately 1-1.5 litres depending on how tightly you pack the mix. Sufficient for 2-4 hour fishing sessions with moderate current flow.
Compatible With
Marine rope or paracord (6-8mm diameter for handle attachment)
Berley mix (pilchards, mullet, tuna oil, commercial blends)
Carabiner clips or snap hooks for quick deployment
Mesh bait bags (for additional scent trail when targeting specific species)
Fishing tackle suitable for berley-dependent species (snapper rigs, bream floats, bottom rigs)
Usage Note: Always check local fishing regulations regarding berley use. Some marine reserves or protected zones restrict chumming or berley deployment.
