Well, yes. I now also use it to wind the corner steadies on my
caravan when on the drive. It holds barely enough charge to
raise all four of them. Since it is not a good idea to go away
leaving the battery on charge, I have no chance of using it to
lower them again on my return home.

Waht do you do on site? Why not take it with you and charge onsite or
via an invertor from the car battery when driving or van battery when
not?

On site, which is more often than not without mains supply, I use
the usual hand brace, as I have been doing for 35 years.

When I changed my caravan a couple of years ago, I found that
compared with my (very) old one, the steadies appeared to need
much more winding.

I thought that the powered option would be handy when on the
drive. Some of my trips are such that I don't want to increase
the battery drain, not do I want the expense or clutter of any
more additional kit, for which I would have no other use.
