I use the PLB to run my ARB 47L and another to run my ARB 78L, The 47L uses very little power at night so the PLB can be topped up in less than an Hour.
My Dometic PLB-40's 12v Sockets are rated at 15A, I like em because what the fridge uses during night is very little and the Solar or Cigar Socket in the Van can charge it back up in less than an hour. At night it will use less than 0.42Ah per hour Or equal to 13% of the power over a 12h +...
The BD-35 is normally fitted to Off road fridges up to 60L but in an industrial type fridge they are fitted to much bigger fridges, They can take a long duty cycles so there is little chance of them giving up the ghost,
As for the original problem I think I would be looking at a more efficient...
I also bought a 100w panel and then decided that was not right so I bought 6 X 150w panels for my next project and I bought 2 X Ecoworthy 120w Folding panels just to charge the 2 PLB's.
It's funny how you get so far in to doing something and your Ideas charge, hence the 6 X 150's ???
Yeah I went all weak at the Knees when I saw that puppy, My PLB's are great and I like the fact the 12v sockets are rated at 15A but If I could only have one unit it would be the Bluetti 1500w "Not" the 2400w because although the 2400 or 1800w have more stored power they still all share the...
I just thought of another good reason to buy one, If you own an EV like a tesla etc the last thing you want to be doing is sucking power from it's Batteries,
Well I think regardless of the brand these things are game changers because they do away with the need for duel battery systems or hacking in to the vehicles wiring systems because on modern computerize Ve-Hicles this can cause no end of problems and Void warranties etc, At first I thought "...
I bought 2 of them just over a year ago and I can't fault them, One of them will power my Small Dometic fridge for 4 and a half days and it will power my ARB 47L/50Qt for 3 days but the best bit is what the fridge uses during the night can be replaced in an hour of Solar or an hour of driving...
If you find them too small you should look in to getting one of the sleeping bags made for Carp Fishing, they are much bigger than normal sleeping bags and you can buy expander panels for them as well as Jumbo sized sleeping bags, I have a couple of them and the last one I bought is a 2...
Down is not a good thing for sleeping in a Vehicle or trailer due to the humidity from our breath, synthetic would be the better way to go because it will keep you warm even if it is wet.
The PLB will charge fast from your Vehicles 12v Cigar socket and if the socket is live 24/7 it will give you the power reserve of both your vehicle battery and the PLB, You need a 120w Panel for the PLB and plug it direct in to the Anderson Socket and thats all it needs.
The PLB comes with the...
Cool, I am glad you are happy with your new Fridge, like I said they are a thing of beauty and out spec any household domestic fridge freezer you can buy and in fridge mode they chew very little power,
Having good wiring is the the way to go and what ever is recommended I then go up in spec...
