ARB FRIDGES---Now w/pics

Post by TwinStick » Mon Jul 04, 2016 11:48 am

Have both the 82 & 50 with us this time. Both are working excellent. 82 is at 34* & the 50 is at -1*. Maintained that even with cap all closed up. Partially in shade & sun & 80* out. Very happy with these things.

First time using my phone for this.

How often do you need to recharge the battery(ies)? I can run my edgestar 63 quart for two days in 100*f along with other accessories (water pump for sink and misc lighting) before charging. I cannot recall the capacity of the battery right now.

No idea. Plugged into 120v. I will have both in a few months. Right now all the places we camp have electric. I will have 1 deep cycle for each when done.

I'm running an Indel B 50 on a pair of Optima Grp 34 Blue deep cycles. At 80F, I can go about three days if I have to. At 115F, I really need to charge the batts every day, but I usually have the Indel set on freeze.

Two ARB 47L in AZ heat required more power than a 120W solar panel @ 5.8A output. We had to run the truck in the evening to top off the G31 Sears DieHard AGM battery. A single 47L does fine at any temp off the same panel.

Did you mean 37L ? If not, how old are they ?, i see none listed in that size.

I ran the 82qt off my little 500/1000w inverter, with no issues, on the way home. Wires did not even get hot.

So, not off-road camping but camping none the less. :lol:

Hard to see but the freezer is at +1* F & the 82qt fridge is at +36* F. Outside temp was 80-90*F everyday.

Sorry for the crappy pics.
