    Is this 12V battery better than Battle Born?

    Mine has not arrived yet but it is in what looks like a metal case. You could just add some sealant around the rim edge of the top of the battery box to protect it even better from water and dust from getting in.

    Made a Diagram - Dose this look right? For a solar battery box

    Thanks This first box is going to be used the most to run a 12 volt fridge/freezer I have an ICECO JP50 on the way. It will also run our DC internet device that takes little power and charge a cell phone as needed. The inverter I might not even get till I build my next battery. I want to build...

    Made a Diagram - Dose this look right? For a solar battery box

    The inverter would be used just when needed maybe for a coffie maker or running a TV. Do not think i would use the inverter with charge controller at the same time as the battery box and inverter will be more moble to more around from room to room or outside. Was thinking about a fuse right...

    Can I charge two different not connected battery's off one charge controller?

    Thanks Wow $99. I think at that price point I would be better off just getting two 20amp versions for around the same price of one 40 and the isolator.

    Can I charge two different not connected battery's off one charge controller?

    They both run different things so each is in its own box. One is to run a 12-volt fridge and the other runs other items moved around as needed. So that are not connected together. Just building all this.

    Can I charge two different not connected battery's off one charge controller?

    If I have two 100ah batteries both in their own box discharged at different amounts never connected together. Can I use say a 40 amp solar charge controller and split the output one going to each battery so I get around 20amp into each one to charge them up? This would save some money VS...

    Any video on how to make a regulated 12v output battery box to run a 12 volt ICECO fridge

    For a TV I just ordered a small 12 inch that can run off a 12-volt cigarette adapter so this will lower our tv watts needed to be very low to see local over the air news and weather.

    Wanted to ask one more? If I was to build two of the 100AH setups. When needed can I just use a car cigarette plugin 750W or 1000W Power Inverter to use when needed in place of building the Inverter into the box. Any downside to doing it this way? Thanks

    Any video on how to make a regulated 12v output battery box to run a 12 volt ICECO fridge

    Yes I was confusing the low, med and high with the Eco mode. I was thinking the Eco mode was the low setting. So to charge this battery with solar what would be a good solar charger to use with it if I have two 170 watt panels? Other than some 12 volt cig sockets would I need anything else to...

    Any video on how to make a regulated 12v output battery box to run a 12 volt ICECO fridge

    If I run it on high would that not use a lot more battery power? I thought most people run them on low? If I regulated the battery would it then run on low as it id then getting the right power?
