Can this battery power a refrigerator and can the battery also be charged by Ac plug rather than solar?

Yes, it can charge by plugging-in to the wall. I have gotten a smaller size fridge/freezer to use with this system. I think a full-size would tend to use your charge-up pretty quickly.

should be I run a 100w fridge with it but I use 3 solar batteries as they are only 35amp hrs each

It runs on any 12V battery. If it's just for a little while, your car battery is fine. If you plan to run it 24/7, the battery needs to be supplied with a source to recharge it. The greater the amp-hour capacity of the battery, the longer the fridge will run. I think mine uses about half of the energy generated by a 125W solar panel in the sunny Southwest.

Yes, the battery can be either charged while in or outside of the unit. Climapak sells additional batteries. I have found the battery to work for weeks, but an extra would be important "just in case".

Not sure if you can or not. We bought it for our off grid sauna and leave it plug into the solar panel the entire time we are there on vacation. If I remember correctly the batteries are housed in the light fixture, so I would think it is possible. You may want to ask someone that uses it at home, as we only get up to the cabin once or twice a year due to the distance from home. Sorry I couldn't be of more assistance.

The solar panels are for charging batteries. You will need batteries and a 220 volt inverter to power the refrigerator. 4 panel will not be enough to maintain the charge with your refrigerator. I have 10 panels charging 14 deep cycle batteries connected to a 3000 watt, 120 volt inverter that powers a small chest freezer and some lights plus occasional microwave and TV and I am probably going to add another 400 watts to my system so I can have a small refrigerator.

1: Can't answer fridge question. My guess is No. 2: Camera derives "power" from HomePlug Powerline Adapter. No charging.

You would need to check the drain that the fridge has. This should keep your battery charging at 1-4 amps (in my area) so if it's less then that on average it will be fine. Also if you are charging the batteries every now and then this will help. So if your thinking of leaving the fridge on and never charging it depends greatly on the draw. If you are supplementing your charges this is perfect. Also check your solar index for your region mine is very low so you will most likely get a better charge than me.

This is a 110V. I've had this refrigerator less than a year. Ordinarily, I would have given rave reviews but it died two days ago. I'm debating about paying to get it fixed or just buy another.

I do not know for sure. I think if the solar panels can charge a gel battery you could. This is a great battery and runs our trolling motor for 5 hours. I want to put this battery on my trailer and plan to use solar.

The fridge draws about 30 Watts of power when the compressor is running, and when running in freezer mode, it will run the compressor most of the time. That means you'll be drawing 20-30W, or 200-300Wh over the course of 10 hours. For a 12V battery, that translates to 17-25Ah of battery capacity, plus any inefficiencies (some cars will also require you to have the ignition on to use the 12V sockets, which could add to the power draw). Given that most car batteries have capacities around 40-60Ah but only about half the capacity is usable, keeping this fridge running in freezer mode overnight is not advisable. I would recommend getting a second deep cycle marine battery so that you don't run down the car's main battery.

I think it would depend on the fridges amperage draw, but if intended for use with a car lighter, this should work. I use mine to run a Coleman cooler that acts as a fridge. No prob so far.

IF the Refrigerator uses LESS than 500watts and uses less than 500watts on start up yes you can... Pretty sure the converter takes care of the Hertz too...

If you had it hooked to a large capacity battery. With a inverter hooked to that battery large enough to handle 115vac @ 5amps. The amps for a small fridge is probaly closer to 1.5 than it is 15 amps. So with your panel in full sunlight producing 50W at 22vdc regulated to 12vdc. You could in theory run the fridge.

Sorry but unless you have a serious Battery and Inverter setup. No. Dont get me wrong it is a good kit. I have two of them. but most Refrig and freezers need alot more amps than the kit provides. But it cold be used to keep a Battery charged and a bigger inverter could work. Check out the web folks are using these kits to make solar generators with good results.

Look at the watts your compressor consumes. It must be 1500 or less watt. This inverter only achieves 110-120 volts.It doesn´t work with appliances more than that. You need DC cables to conect to the battery.

Look at http://www.sunpentown.com/rf32cudodore1.html: it says 95W, 1.1 Amp. I had it plugged in to a 15 amp circuit, shared with a TV and several lights, with no problem. By the way, I have had this fridge for many years and it still works fine.
