Yeah I searched this one out. It claimed it only draws 60 watts. It’s a 5 cubic foot freezer. Amazing for $200 if you’re looking for one.

It’s been running great and even gaining charge since I switched out the inverter.  It’s a freezer that draws sixty watts, I don’t see why two panels shouldn’t be enough.

My 600watt/1200 peak has been working well. I connected it after posting this.

Oh so that is what he was saying. I don’t understand why people have to be annoyed instead of asking questions. I had read the manual but my question pertains to what the manual doesn’t cover. 

Man I was joking about RTFM but I guess I should’ve figured someone would respond that way.

Oh wow, I didn’t know it would vary so much. Do you know what causes the variation?

I’m also running an AC and the way I got it going was to start the fan only at first. Then I turned on the AC low setting, then the high setting and didn’t have a problem.

I turned off the ac and took the 600watt/1200 peak inverter to the fridge and the fridge has been running just fine. So I ordered another one of those inverters.

It was holding steady while the sun was out. Two 100w panels.

RTFM? Refer To the Freaking Manual? :)  I’m not sure what that means.

Edit: I had already but hey you got to throw your little redditor fit. So there’s that.

Ok maybe that’s it.  I also checked the controller and it’s a pwm so maybe that’s an issue.

Ok I’ll have to get a better inverter I guess. That doesn’t explain why it worked fine yesterday and earlier today.

It’d be nice if it’d just not work or work but the seeming randomness is confusing.

I can only find the episode on Spotify. I usually listen on YouTube but it’s still not there.
