After camping and having my ARB run my battery down too low and leaving me stranded, I don't quite trust it. Turns out the battery saver was on "low" instead of "high", but even high is 11.8v, which is 35%- too low for my comfort zone. I mostly run the ARB in my Jeep and it now has a single AGM battery.
I was thinking about getting a portable power pack to act as an energy reserve for the fridge instead of going with a true dual battery set up. When I'm jeeping, I drive everyday so it'll have a way to charge.
Simple questions- is it better to run the fridge off the battery pack on AC or DC? Can I make a charging cord for the power pack that will utilize my existing ARB power port? That has 12 gauge wire and will handle more current than the factory 12v plug in the rear. How big of a pack should I get?
The fridge pulls .85amp/hours. At least 24 hours of running on it would be nice. 2 days, even better. And then I can save the full power of my starting battery for the engine.
