Hi,

I thought I had a leisure battery problem but having charged it properly it seems to be running the fridge no problem now.

Does anyone know the wattage of the fridge as I would like to do some calculations on usage of the fridge and other electrical items?

Many thanks,

Andrew.
 
Fridge takes about 4 Amps, 50 Watts or so.
 
Many thanks,

Having read the Danfoss BD35 literature again I also found 50 watts, therefore, I would expect the fridge to last a couple of days without driving or hookup.

Andrew.
 
Hello.
2 leisure batteries of 80 ah each, so 160 ah total divided by 4 amps, gives 40 hours of theoretical continuous freezing time. Of course under condition that nothing else takes power from batteries.
Then how often the fridge actually operates depends of temperature inside the van and temperature set for the fridge.
Cheers
Andrzej
