Hello all!
I am looking for suggestions as I consider a "DC-only" Power Station for a small 12v DC fridge with 60W maximum power draw. I'm looking for inexpensive solutions and would consider DIY, if it helps get the cost down.
Dometic makes the PLB40 512 Wh Li-Ion battery with a 12V socket output, which is regulated in order to operate with most 12V fridges. While the PLB40 is basically what I want, it is quite expensive and is not LiFePo4.
Renogy makes the inexpensive GP10 266 Wh battery bank with a 12V socket output, but I don't think the output is regulated. If the output was regulated this would be just about perfect.
Are there any other DC-only power stations that might work? If I try DIY around a LiFePo4 battery what would everyone recommend? Several manufacturer make a "battery box", e.g. model Maxi Trac MTBA890, that I could put a LiFePo4 battery in, but how to regulate the output.
Any thoughts or suggestions for products or recommended components for a DIY/Milk Crate Build?
