Hi Guys
I am wondering how long my fridge should run before it flattens my battery
I have a old 12 volt Electrolux fridge in the boat that I purchased last year, and have never used the fridge up to now.
Its fed from a new house battery which is rated at 120 Amp Hours, but the fridge flattens the battery within approx 10 hours if the engine is not running and charging the battery.
I did measure the current to the fridge on a multimeter and it was drawing approx 5 amps when first switched on, so i thought I would at leat get 20 hours use from it.
How long does you guys fridge run before flattening the battery?, or can you recommend a good efficient fridge
Cheers
