The system also includes an LED display to indicate each battery’s state of charge. The IBS is offered in 12-volt and 24-volt models (the latter can control four batteries) and comes with a power cable and a premade four-wire harness.

The IBS has a manufacturer’s suggested retail price of $379.95.

Water Bottle

Earthlust stainless-steel water bottles According to product literature, stainless-steel water bottles from EarthLust are more healthful and more environmentally friendly than plastic water bottles.

Disposable plastic bottles have been known to leach chemicals into the water you drink, and since they are not biodegradable, they are not good for the environment. But each custom-designed EarthLust water bottle is made of food-quality, 18/8 stainless steel and remains unlined to assure that chemicals do not leach into the water. The company uses nontoxic paints and BPA-free caps for the bottles, and optional sports tops are available. Each bottle features a nature-inspired design on the exterior and comes with a high-quality carabiner.

EarthLust water bottles have manufacturer’s suggested retail prices of $16 (13-ounce), $18 (20-ounce), and $21 (1-liter).
