This is excellent info on extending runtime. Inspiring me to put together a battery system similar to your shed. Continue to be a light in your neighborhood. Thank you

Something else to keep in mind. A completely filled chest freezer takes days to throw out simply because of the mass of frozen food/water inside. The new ones draw next to nothing when frozen. If you can't fill yours, carpool with a neighbor and run one full freezer instead of two partials.

That inverter you have is it a 3k surge or 3k continuous I have 4 deep cell AGM 18 wheeler batteries and going to run them in parallel. What size inverter would you recommend to run a deep freezer, Large Stainless steel side by side refrigerator/freezer, a few lamps with led bulbs, tv, modem and internet.

That is a good question I'm pretty sure it's 3500 surge but I'm not 100% also for the inverter I'm a fan of more than needed. You can get away with a 1500 but personally I'd get a 2-3k and never worry in case you wanna run something bigger from time to time.

Im installing a solar system and was wondering if i put my refrigerator on a timer so it only ran in the day would that hurt the fridge over time?
@JDSOutdoors Жыл бұрын
I would only do that in an emergency. After a fridge is at temp it really doesn't draw that much power and its not constantly running anyway. I have my fridge running off my solar for the past week and you can't even tell it's running on the meters
