Off Grid Freezer Setup with 100Ah Battery

Please use watt/hours not amp/hours as your unit of measure of energy.

Okay, now you need to connect it to the solar so we can see how that lasts!!

The other day I purchased and put together two 200ah CHIN batteries with a 2000 watt renogy converter and in running my full size fridge in the house for 65 hours. The only downside is that takes awhile to recharge them

Do you need some sort of voltage regulator between the battery and fridge? Or does the fridge tolerate the full range of high to low voltage from the battery as it discharges?

Thanks Jason, you're timing of this video is perfect. Question: Can you recommend a good plug in charger that I could use to keep this battery charged? Thanks

Excellent video!! what is the name of the meter used for testing ?

I can't wait for someone to take this on a pota thinking "24 lbs? No problem" lol

Great video ! Love them 12V compressor fridges . We use for camping and transporting frozen food from store to home in summer heat . The LiFePO4 has gotten go good and cheap no reason to use Lead anymore. And for starting battery ,That changing. Our gas scooter had a lead starting battery. This summer I found a NOCO replacement LiFePO4 for it . Put it in and starts a tad faster. I am IN NY so see what colod nights do to it. I won't be driving below 32F . But some nights in NY get quite cold and nice fall day . Once it stays cold I take battery out until spring. I store inside where it is warm . like I do with the lead one. Hoping to get more than 1 year out of tiny scooter battery. I almost went with a AGM type. I was using the flooded type that comes with the acid and when ready you fill it and charge. Now I don't worry about spilling acid . or adding distilled water. I never had to. by time level got to bottom line the battery would no longer hold a charge. My NOCO 1 amp charger has LFP setting. I got the 10 amp one for my bigger 50/100/200 AH ones. just takes longer on big battery. does not hurt them. NOCO chargers shut off on on LFM and go to float on lead type. So many nice LiFePO4 now ! Bogue RV is known in RV industry to be great ! I know long time RV ers and hear it all the time. LiFePO4 is life changing ! wish I got rid of lead years ago. SOTA and POTA users love them ! 73

Great Video, however my question is: How long would this battery, with an inverter, run your normal home freezer in a grid down situation?

IOW that fridge is more efficient even in RX than my FT-891!

I didn’t have room for even some of the 100ah mini batteries… but I was able to fit three 45 amp hour batteries in my cargo area storage bin in my bronco for a total of 135ah. Depending on my Texas weather… I can get 36 hours to about 72 hours on my iceco Apl35 fridge.

If the unit is drawing 36 AH, then the battery will not last 3 days.
Or did I miss something!

Thanks!

Good info! I'm sure they make a good battery. I'm seeing the 100ah batteries for well under $200 now it's really amazing and makes me wonder how long the prices can hold. I was planning on spending 10K for a system in my camper just 3 years ago very happy I waited until now.
