- This video compares the energy performance of the new GoalZero Atla 80 against the Dometic CFX375 and the ARB Zero 73 portable camping fridge.
In part two we run all the fridges at 0° and 35° with all content already pre-chilled to its desired temperature prior to the test.  Additional mass in the form of water bottles were added to the larger fridges to ensure the ratio of content to volume is relatively similar. 
That's really cool that you have (3) Yeti 1500x power stations. Do you keep them all in use in your 4Runner or are they more for home emergency power? do you have the Yeti Tanks for them?
In my testing the Alta 80 was averaging 14 watts per hour with both areas set to 35 degrees. I calculated about a 76 hour runtime on a 1000w delta 2
Nice!
My biggest issue is receiving a unit that isn’t damaged. I’m about to get a third one sent because each one that arrives damaged from FedEx shipping. I will say that goal zero has been excellent as far as customer service so far.
Does it freeze food well thinking of using this as an outdoor freezer in my covered patio in san diego where the weather is generally perfect so no snow and not extreme hot temperatures
The best test would have been using three 100 amps lithium phosphate batteries hooked up to a 12 volt socket ( cigarette lighter socket). Mainly because gold zero battery packs are not the best at doing anything and most importantly, you don’t have to worry about powering a separate BMS inside of an all in one system. I normally get four days out of my 100 amp battery left inside of my Bronco. I strongly encourage the weekend warriors to buy a 100 amp lithium phosphate battery such as power queen or chins with Bluetooth that way you can monitor the system from your phone
The only "problem" I have with this test is the fact that the Dometic freezer looks twice as big as the GZ. Looping forward to your final test in which all the temperatures will be equal.
GZ fits 3 more liters. lens distortion.
