That is strange. I just top off my Optima H6 every 3 or 4 months when I’m not using my fridge in my JK and have never run into any problems. It is usually close to full. I’m a couple months from 3 years with it, so fingers crossed. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

You are right, I meant FLA (thanks for the catch), but I am also open to an AGM. It seems that so many of the deep cycle batteries are designed for dual purpose. The Interstate 24M-EFB was next on my list, so that is probably my safest bet. I had been looking at Odysseys for my Jeep that...

I’ve been looking for a group 24 sealed lead acid deep cycle battery (not dual purpose). After a bunch of research I concluded the Deka Marine Master DC 24 was my best option. I spoke to a Deka representative and he said they haven’t been able to get those in stock for at least a year. Any...

I run an Optima h1 yellow top in my Jeep and keep a small jump pack under the back seat. I recently acquired a Jackery 1000 that I will use for my fridge overnight. I love the flexibility of the Jackery. I looked hard at dual setups and am very happy with my current solution. I feel like I have...

I just sent them a message using the number on their website asking if they had any blemishes units and asked how much. They were pretty responsive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Thanks for the tip on a pro to make the cable. I couldn’t find the v/a for each port listed. I assume the dc ports are 12 v. the Anderson port can accommodate two 100 watt panels using their pigtail. I checked the supplied cables for using the cig port in a car and the solar and both are using...

I recently bought a factory blemished Jackery Explorer 1000 - thanks for the tip @jadmt I already have a screw in charging port from ARB for a fridge. I think the ports are also common with Dometic and Engle. I don’t think I am going to be able to buy a cable to charge the Jackery using the ARB...

I finally had time to use it today. You’re right the plug is firm. I don’t see it coming loose. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Yeah, I have the arb port wired to a switch/relay in my Jeep. No dual battery, but I have a big yellow top. I was thinking about plugging the Jackery into the arb port to charge and the fridge into the Jackery. Although I am concerned about it coming loose on a long drive. I guess I will see...

Ok, I’m giving the Jackery 1000 a go. How do you make sure the power doesn’t come out when driving? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have any experience with the Anker Powerhouse II 800? I’m thinking about picking one up to run my Arb fridge while traveling...

I have a JKU an H6 and a 31 quart fridge. I bought Optima’s 4 amp charger to top off when there is shore power. I keep a small booster pack with me just in case but haven’t needed it. A lot probably depends on the average temp outside and how often you’re in the fridge. Based on what you’ve...

That’s good to know. Was erring in the side of caution. Just plugging in my charger is an easy solution. Cheers! Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

My fridge does AC/DC but I don’t have a neat way to run an AC wire out. Just crack a window. If I run a smart charger such as an Optima 400 while running the fridge, will I be reasonably safe from damaging anything? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

I have a Jeep JK with an Optima AGM H6 Yellowtop that I use with a fridge. I would like to be able to plug the battery into shore power when available to keep it topped off. I have read that I can do it with a non-smart charger. I have an Optima 400 charger. Is it safe to use that one? If not...

So I snapped a clip one one already. I wasn’t paying attention and it got caught under the lid. I found this on thingiverse and 3D printed a few. They fit well. https://www.thingiverse.com/thing:3197783 Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Those look really good for the price. Are those holes facing the camera? I know the front runner version has drain holes. I figured I will plug them for my uses. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk

Please report back when they arrive. Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

Anyone have any experience with Camp Cover Ammo Boxes? They look very similar to Frontrunner Wolf Packs. OK 4WD in NJ just started carrying them. Looks like they have been sold outside the US for a while. https://ok4wd.com/camp-cover-ammo-box-hdpe-high-lid-ccoccd001-a Sent from my iPhone...

So I ended up going with Sensor Push on Amazon. It works over Bluetooth and has a replaceable battery. They claim the batteries last over a year. I have to admit that the range is much better than I thought. I have no problem pulling live readings from my Jeep while the sensor is in my fridge...
