    Exploring battery set up and charging options

    I had similar problem with low voltage while fishing in Florida in the Winter. I'm running bait pumps, refrigerator and electronics the whole time I'm out (daytime). I have 4 Duracell AGM batteries (2 starting and 2 house separate not paralleled) and a ProMariner Pro 20 3-bank charger and a Noco...

    Converting 12v fridge to dual 120v/12v

    I suppose the switch will work for you but having it automatic is what I wanted. Couple of last minute suggestions. No specs on relay coil resistance which would affect heat output but trying another manufacturers relay may work. Also that relay has a metal frame and could be screw mounted on...

    Converting refrigerator from dc to ac/dc

    Wrapped the conversion up today using the above products. Hardest thing was mounting the power supply. Plugged into old microwave outlet. When 120ACV is present the power supply delivers 12VDC to the relay coil and normally open contacts. No 120VAC relay is open and 12VDC powers the refrigerator.

    Converting refrigerator from dc to ac/dc

    If your are really to determined to have a 12 VDC / 120 VAC automatic switch system you need a 120 VAC DPDT relay and a 120 VAC 12 VDC 10 amp or better power supply. When on shore power the relay is "picked up" and powers the 12 VDC power supply. When no shore power the battery powers the...

    Marine Fridge 12V vs Regular 115V with inverter

    Is your current refrigerator working? It sounds like you are going to replace it. It's my understanding that all the small refrigerators run on something like 18 VAC so they all have transformers to drop the voltage down from 120 VAC to 18 VAC or inverters to convert 12 VDC to 18 VAC. I'll...
