I am looking to see what peoples experience of battery life is with the refrigerator running.
Boat is 99 280SS w/2 interstate deepcycles. What I am finding is that the cockpit refrigerator when set to 4 on the dial, runs one battery past starting voltage within about 4 hours of floating in the bay. Now this is with conjunction of a basic stereo / waste system / chart plotter on. But the battery dips below 11v within this time frame.
Is this typical? or do I need to look at new batteries?
