OFF GRID RUNTIME TEST ON NEWAIR NFT070MB00 6.7 CUBIC FOOT CHEST FREEZER!! SURPRISING RESULTS :)
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 13 июл 2024
- Whats up gang? Got a new chest freezer from NewAir to keep in our garage to help lessen the load of our overflowing refrigerator with TWO kids....and I think it's going to do great.
I really wanted to demonstrate how well this cooler worked, along with how long it would run solely off a battery in the event of power outages, so your food won't spoil. As you can see, I got around 48 hours off of a 200ah LIFEPO4 battery. Pretty impressive.
If you're interested in this chest freezer, NewAir was kind enough to send me a 10% discount for you that you can find below:

Wow. Very impressive numbers on that test. You will actually get more time than that once you fill it. The frozen foods will fill the volume and the compressor won’t have to cool as much space
Exactly! This was a more difficult test for the battery than a real world situation I think.
My thoughts EXACTLY! As soon as I started watching the test, I said to myself ‘well, you’d get twice the time out of it if you had it full of frozen food when the power goes out’
All the fish you catch…🤓 Love it!
Lol. Sarcasm at its best😉😉
That's consistent with what I have calculated for my same-size freezer and smaller upright refrigerator. Both together consume an average of about 90 watts per hour (based on monitoring with my kil-a-watt meter), so a 200 Ah battery would power the combo for slightly more than 24 hours, taking into account inverter efficiency losses. For longer outages, I would need to supplement it with a small ~2000 watt generator to charge the batteries while also running the fridge and freezer, given that a fast battery charger would take 5 hours to fully charge the batteries. So far I'm in the planning stages, and your videos have been very helpful. Again, I'm surprised by how noisy that inverter is. I'm investigating a Redodo 1000 watt inverter for my purpose, but I'm still working out the components.
👍🏻👍🏻
This is why I like this channel. You do all the research for us! So appreciate it.
Thanks👍🏻👍🏻
Your fishing adventures are like mine. Lot's of adventure and no fish. 😂😂😂
Lol. 👍🏻👍🏻 still better than a day at the office😉😉
@@BrianWatersOutdoors Yes it is !!!!!!! I'm in the office and while the sim software runs, I watch youtube. LOL
It's like you're reading our minds. I know lots of neighbors that are talking about doing this. Now I have a video I can send them to so they can see for themselves.
😂👍🏻👍🏻
That was a good test run! Thanks for that info.
Thanks👍🏻
Just got to watch this episode
The freezer is great
Would be perfect for me
Living by myself
I will never run out of room
Thanks for another great episode
Thanks David. It’s a really nice freezer. Not too big, not too small. And, the 10% off code doesn’t hurt either
That fast freeze mode is pretty nice!
👍🏻
Another similar test could be of the battery's performance with
a full 'fridge ( Since the frozen food would help maintain your
optimum temperature ) ' Just Sayin '😊🌿
That’s coming up later. I really wanted to push this battery to the limit and see how it would perform in worst case scenario. 👍🏻👍🏻
Great video! Nice backup power setup.
Thank ya👍🏻👍🏻
Impressive to say the least. Great work!
Thanks👍🏻
Cool experiment you got there!!
👍🏻👍🏻
Cool beans good idea for back up power.
👍🏻
That's awesome!! Our power in northern Ohio is normally pretty reliable but ya never know... great job 👌👍✌️
Thanks Robert👍🏻
Thank you for sharing the build and experience of the battery, etc. I'm not sure that freezer is going to be big enough for all the fish you're going to catch though. Very informative, I may even be able to make something similar thanks to your upload and share.
Lolol. Thanks👍🏻 I have been reeling in a ton of fish lately😉😉😂
That’s a pretty nice freezer, yeah man all the “fish” should fit just fine 😂😂😂
Oh man lol!!!👍🏻👍🏻
Lol. Glad you caught that😉😉👍🏻
@@BrianWatersOutdoors 😂😂😂
Once it's full, it will run less and last a lot longer.
Nice.
Yessir👍🏻
Thanks for the info. Been wanting to know what is out there
👍🏻👍🏻
Great test for the Battery Brian. 💯👍 Onto the next Video. #BrianWatersOutdoors
Thanks👍🏻👍🏻
Very cool. Everyone is interested in alternative power sources. Could install some solar panels on the truck topper to run your set up regardless of which setup you use.
👍🏻👍🏻
Wow that battery lasted that long nice job Brian.
👍🏻👍🏻
Very Cool...:)
👍🏻👍🏻
You must really like hot water, my house has 3 AC units outside but I’ve never seen a house with 2 water heaters before.
Lol. We didn’t ask for it. Not sure why we have 2🤷♂️🤷♂️
Nice
👍🏻👍🏻
Always try to never go past 10% to be honest that’s really low the cells die when you do that my opinion from my experiences I deal with a lot of batts regular agm alll kinds of different cells for lithiums and that I know that’s bad but that’s the beauty of lithium you can bring them back to life if you know what your doing… but you seem knowledgeable n I love your ch keep it up brother
👍🏻👍🏻
Quick thinking
👍🏻👍🏻
Ty sir
👍🏻👍🏻
Charge that baby up fast lol that’s a nice batt for emergencies and for rvs and stuff I use mine for extreme car audio we use ours for bursts you use yours for slow discharge and slow charge outs are fast charge n discharge but never ever gets past 14.8 volts I charge @15.4
Good info👍🏻
Great job! Very informative especially since many people lost power during the snow storm in Texas. Thanks.

Thanks Eric👍🏻
Remember; unless externally or internally heated, those lifepo4 batteries won't charge below 32°f.
Something to keep in mind if your anticipating using for winter power outages.
i haven't seen the end, but if you fill the freezer before you start the test, you will get much better results. simple because the items in the freezer will also help keep it cold.
Right. I wanted this to be the toughest test for the run time, so in the real world I should get longer run times. This was basically worst case scenario.
I’ve never seen a house with two water heaters n I do construction n deal with lots of different size homes and mansions
Yeah, I was surprised this had 2 heaters as well
only problem if your garage goes below 50 f in winter its under spec and if failure the warrantee could be voided
ge hotpoint and 1 or 2 american co are spected to be garage ready in 120v freezers some china's are 50 to 92 f only
That was very informative Brian . " Enjoyed it !
Could you possibly do a similar test with the
solar panels hooked up ?🌿
Sure! Thanks!
I’m curious to see if the solar panels can charge the battery with the freezer running or at least hold the battery percentage steady.
It should. Max wattage I saw the freezer pull was 68 watts. I can average about 75 watts off my solar panel (and it’s a small one) so I should be feeding the battery even when the compressor is running. But solar is finicky.
Thanks. Could you redo this with a 200 watt solar panel put in the middle of the driveway? What I would like to find out the minimum Solar to have a perpetual system. Thanks for your posting.
Thanks Clarence. I did do a video using a 200 watt panel you can find on my channel. I got about 5 days I believe. Really need a 400 watt array to keep it perpetually running.
Another great video. If you had the solar panel hooked up, would it keep the battery sufficiently charged if you ran the same test? Or would the battery eventually run out?
Thanks! I’ll be posting another video with this scenario exactly. But, the freezer pulls about 65-70 watts and my solar panel can bring in over 100 watts. So in theory should be able to run a long time….if the weather is good.
Since your draw is only 68watts at peak, and if you aren't going to run anything else on it, you could drop your inverter size- use less power. Also, I wonder how long you can run it with replenishing the battery? So if you had a scenario of post hurricane/tornado (nader) where your power could be off for days, sun can be plentiful but also can be hit and miss, how long can your fish stay frozen with replenishing the battery with solar? I'd recommend 600 watts of solar, but let's do 200 watts to make it interesting.
Yup. I’m building another unit now and will post that soon. But, 2000 watt inverter (yes, overkill for this scenario), freezer actually have food in it that’s frozen, a 200ah battery and a 200 watt solar panel.
Did you try charging that battery from the 120 w solar panel. From empty to full.
I didn’t try it with the 120 watt panel. That would honestly probably take 5-7 days of perfect weather and no load on the battery
Will you be making a system for your camper /truck?
Probably not this style. I like using the “pre made” battery stations like the Jackery inside the truck.
First to comment love your vids
Thanks bud👍🏻
Can you charge it with the solar panels while being used?
Yes, you can do that
Thanks 👍🏼💪🏼
Can I know the power rating of the fridge. How many Watts did it use
Max I got was around 115 watts
@@BrianWatersOutdoors thank you so much
Inverter is way overkill for the freezer and wasting tremendous amount of energy. Much smaller invertor would have done the job, also do the test when it is loaded not empty.
👍🏻 was the only inverter I had at the time, and I wanted the freezer to be empty just to give a type of “worse case scenario”. But, good points.
Very good info. Thx.
