So the 3x22AH AGM batteries mounted under the floor in the back are well and truly dead. Rather than go down the same route again (with plans to finally order the JLU before Christmas) I decided to grab a 25AH portable lithium pack from ITECHWORLD. It has a built in MPPT charger for solar, 12V from the car or wall charging, a 300W inverter, numerous USB out, wireless charging pad and 5.5mm and 12V out sockets.
Decided it will sit in the back of the Jeep when on the move charging from the 12V socket with the fridge plugged in to the pack, turn off the Jeep and the fridge will run of the battery pack. Get in camp and I can run the projector, charge phones and drone etc without having to run cables from the camper. Perfect for day trips etc with a 100W solar blanket.
Anyway, 6 hours running the fridge so far and looking good, anticipating 20hours with the fridge empty and sitting at 1C. Not the cheapest option but very convenientEDIT *** After 20 hours I stopped the test, battery was at 60% and was obviously doing it's job, figured no need to draw it down unnecessarily
