  • How long will this charge a mini fridge or freezer for?

    • It's confusing - states 12ah but 268wh/12v = around 22ah. Divide the capacity (12ah or 22ah) by the average your fridge draws and you'll get hours it will power.

    • +1

      It depends on a lot of factors: Temperature of the fridge, size of the fridge, whether it's 12V or 240V, the ambient temperature, whether you prechill your food, how often you open the door, even the colour of the car (if it's going into a car).

      But from personal experience, a 200Ah battery (very roughly ten times the capacity of this battery) will run a 60L fridge for around a week. So if this was hooked up to the same fridge, that's a little under a day.

      • Confusingly, specs indicate it's only 12ah…

        • Yes I noticed this also, my guess is that the 12 is meant to be volts and they forgot to put in the 22Ah.
          In saying this, that is a really tiny battery 22Ah.

          • @PukeyLuke: i think lifepo batteries can go closer to 100% discharge where as AGM shouldn't cycle more than 50%. Saying that 44ah equivilent is still a touch small. Saying that 1-2ah drawer depending on settings feels about right for a lot of mid size fridges so a day stacks. IMO you want 3 days if you are considering off grid camping because you never know if the sun will be out tomorrow and getting stressed about battery levels suck.

        • +2

          The specs list…
          Battery Voltage: 22.4V
          Amp Hours:12Ah

          • +1

            @FLICKIT: 7s LiFePO4, interesting!
            Means a bit of wasted energy both when charging (from a 12V charger) and discharging.

            • +2

              @RubenM: Yeh…It's a convenient package for a weekend camper that needs to charge their phone and/or lappy, or the likes, but for a fridge people should probably look at something more substantial, 12v 100Ah battery, +, +, +, it starts getting complicated for the average non electrically minded person working to an OzBargain budget… (it's near impossible to recommend a budget suitable setup)

    • I ordered one, hoping it powers my 35l fridge for 24 hours in the summer, based on wh.

      • 3 hours for a 60w min fridge from their listing on Amazon
        https://www.amazon.com.au/dp/B0B9P2ML2J?th=1

      • +1

        Yea, I've actually tested it and the fridge won't run for longer than 3 hours in summer.

      • Depending on fridge power draw, ambient/internal temperature difference and your usage (how much you open it) it should. I have different power station (companion Rover 40Ah) which boasts approximately double capacity: I got 512Wh compared to this 268Wh. My fridge (Dometic CFX 25) was powered for 2.5 days (2 days and a night) with around 20% charge remaining. No solar charging during that time. Unless your fridge draws significantly more or it gets really hot outside, you should be fine for 24 hours. Having that solar panel would definitely help. Remember to pre-cool the fridge and food in car/home to lower temperature, than what you will use during camping.

    Can these be used as a UPS?

    • UPS are usually cheaper around $100?
      I think you want to buy this if you want to charge it via solar?
      Otherwise you can buy 4x UPS.

      • I suppose, I was just curious as this has 12v output and usb ports which im guessing would be alot more efficient to power 12v nbn ntd/routers than a UPS which converts 230vac >12/24vdc > 230vac > 12vdc…

    • This unit has "UPS Bypass Mode" but some people have reported some problems with it.

  • How is 268wh equal to a 12ah battery? Is it 24v?

    • It looks like it could be 22.4V nominal voltage battery.

  • +1

    Ah is a stupid and meaninless value unless you know at what battery voltage it is refering to.
    It is a 268Wh battery. At a 12V output it is equivalent to a 22Ah battery. At 3.2v (lithium battery) it's a 73Ah battery.

    • Is it though? it has outputs of various voltages, so depending on what voltage youre using it should still translate to roughly the same energy just dependent on your usage voltage.

  • +1

    Only $50 more with a solar panel… https://www.ozbargain.com.au/node/774578

    And be mindful these are a small battery, ok for device charging and not much else…

      Enough to run a NBN modem during black out ?

      • That should be fine for a while, it's hard to say how long it would work for without knowing exactly how much the modem draws…..

        • Say the modem draws 10W and the Fiber Conversion box draws 15W, so 25W in total. How long would they go for you reckon?

          • +1

            @MKBHD: There will be some power loss on 230V output. Numbers say that 268/25 = 10.7 hours, but I wouldn't expect more than 6-7 hours. Given the double conversion (DC->AC->DC) I would recommend to get/make an adapter and power your router/modem/whatever from 12V output. Most network devices will be fine with 12V but doublecheck that before you plug it in.

    Thanks going to mount this to my Steam Deck

  • A tear down video shows it is 14 cells in total. So it would be 2x 7 cells pack. 7 cells in series (7x 3.2v = 22.4v) , then 2 of those in parallel.
