Have a Ice Box or an area you would like to convert to a
refrigerated space?
There are several options available that will allow you to
accomplish the task.
You will need to check the insulation of an existing Ice Box.
The more insulation, the
lower the power draw from the battery.
Considerations for your conversion
- Well insulated boxes will have a minimum of 2" of closed cell foam
insulation for refrigerators and 3" for freezers
- Your battery system will normally require an upgrade to higher capacity
and the batteries must be heavy duty deep cycle.
- Your battery system should be configured into 2 banks. The first bank
should be heavy duty starting batteries that are only used for starting and
the second bank should be your heavy duty deep cycle bank for the "house"
loads. Once you determine the average daily battery load your battery
capacity should be 3 times the daily load. If you determine the daily load
will be 100 amp hours your installed battery bank should be a minimum of 300
amp hours. The heavy duty alternator and marine regulator you install to
recharge the batteries should be at least 25% of the battery capacity.
