I'm sorry for the newbie question but is this the type of battery one would need to power things like a 12v fridge in an RV? Thank you kindly!

Not entirely sure but there isnt anything too unique other than itvis a deep cycle marine battery with high cold cranking amps for starting the motor. If the fridge truely runs on a 12v battery it would probably be fine but might be overkill and you could look at cheaper options.

I currently use two of them on my boat. They are great! I run my fridge, Sirius Radio, and Microwave off of one. There have been no issues. I also keep them charged when not in use utilizing the NOCO Genius dual bank system.(http://www.amazon.com/NOCO-GEN2-Waterproof-Battery-Charger/dp/B003JSJS5I/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid;=1430916778&sr;=8-1&keywords;=genius+battery+charger+dual)

You might be able to. I am using it to power a dog luring course. I would contact the company who makes the fridge.

I don't know, I used this battery to power/charge my phone and electronics camping trips for over a week. It didn't powered my small refrigerator, which I think was 14amps,it would cut off after a 1 min.

Its a portable power source...you keep it plugged in at all times.In the event you need it,whatever is plugged into it,will receive power fro this unit,ntil it runs out of power or power it is plugged int,is restored. It would probably run a small fridge,depending on its wattage,also several small light fixtures,again depending on there power consumption.In a power outage,providing it is plugged in,it will automatically come on ,if needed.One of its best features.

This would work, but 1 12v deep cycle marine battery will not last very long. I use this with a bank of 4 marine batteries at 220ah each in my bus and it is good enough for about 12 hours using lights, TV, Radio, and mini fridge. Most people use 6v golf cart batteries. You can wire 2 together in series to make 12v, and then you can wire sets of 2 in parralell to increase amp hours (how long they last. The other thing to consider is a means of charging the battery when not in use. If you are using a single battery, a 6 amp "smart" multi-stage charger should be fine. I use a 45amp-maxx 4 stage smart charger from Go Power. Works great! This would work, but 1 12v deep cycle marine battery will not last very long.

I am sorry, I have not opened my refrigerator as of yet and it is not where I can readily get to it. . If you could look on the box or somehow find out how many amps are required by the refrigerator, I can be of a little more help. I will also need to know how many the amps the battery holds. an example is you may have a 12 volt battery, but it will be rated so many amps. The battery could be 12, 24, or just about any volt size. A 12 volt, 30 amp battery would run a 12 volt 3 ah for ten hours, kinda...If it is okay with ebay, I would be glad to walk you through the math if you can get me the numbers.

I actually use this for my boat, any 12V battery will work, if you want to have something around that will last a long time, pick up a ATV battery at Walmart. It will probably run for days

none of the nomad solar panels produce enough wattage to run one of these alone, you would need one of their power packs (sherpa 100 or yeti 150 minimum) to power this, but not for longer than a day or 2 probably without some solar panels(30w to slow the drain on the battery, 60w to actually charge the battery and run the fridge) to charge it during the daytime. specs say this fridge averages 35 watts

You should be using a deep cycle Marine/RV battery. I'm using these on my travel trailer and they work great with good sun exposure.

Yes of course, that is exactly what the 12v output is for. However, it is only 4 amps so it would take a while. Also, it has no smart limit or anything so it will be able to overcharge the battery bank.I would recommend using a standard 120v AC charger plugged into the normal AC outlet of the generator. It will charge faster and safer.That said, the answer is yes.

I have no idea what you are talking about. I have a security camera system at my farm and this type of battery goes in it. It was dying so I finally found the identical battery on Amazon to replace the dying one.

i might add here that pictured with your question is a power sport gel cel battery. if this is part of your setup...you surely got that part right. run time will be greatly affected if it is a small dc fridge as opposed to inverting dc to ac and then using an ac fridge.

No. Just hook it up directly to the 12volt battery posts. I have owned mine for some time now and it works very well to keep my RV auxilliary battery charged.

Yes, it will charge and store power in any 12V battery.... For use other than cranking a motor, you want AMP HOURS (deep cycle) batterys not cranking amps. Cranking amps are all power for a short time... Amp hours are smaller draw for (lights, devices) for hours.

If the battery wasn't fully discharged you probably could. The unit may not supply enough current to run your refrigerator though so you might still be discharging the battery and eventually fully discharge it if the situation was prolonged. Check the Genius charger's max current output spec against the refrigerator's current draw to see whether you would be charging or discharging the battery. Your RV's charging circuitry probably provides several times the current of the Genius and would be charging with the refrigerator in operation if the engine is running.

Yes, the refrigerator will operate on 12v DC, however it will rapidly drain the battery if it is not receiving a replenishing charge.
2063730
just make sure you have enough batteries to support the startup draw of the appliances or your inverter will kick out for low voltage, even if your battery is fully charged. I would say at least 3-4 batteries at least for them three items, maybe more, depending on the size of the ac's and fridge

Some generators come with the ability to charge your 12VDC battery directly instead of powering another source to do it. In most RV's, the converter charges the battery as well as provides the power to the coach. This generator charges 8 amps to the battery directly, if you connect the charger. You will need to determine if the best charging source is from the generator or from another source like a converter.
