clear and plain Norfolk speak, Thanks for keeping it simple and easy to understand, so many others on youtube waffle on endlessly and needlessly. Lovely ol stuff !
I like this video, its to the point and there's no bs involved unlike some of the American videos where they seem to like the sound of their own voice. Anyway thanks for the demo, it's just what I was looking for. 👍
Very good video. I have a little 750W Chinese generator and that grunts on one small 100W freezer on startup. I have 3 freezers - OOPS!. It's the blasted capacitor start motor that means you need so much start up power. You can't even use a soft start device. Once they are running all 3 feezers will use less than 500W accoring to their labels. I ended up buying a German 3000W inverter generator. I could use my 60A battery charger on the 750W and then through a 3000W inverter to run a freezer. We have very good mains in the UK but as we can no longer power our own country and have to buy French electricity I want a back up. I'm sure Nelson and the Old Duke would agree. Great video and well worth watching, I came to the same conclusions you have but it's nice to see I got it right.
Finally a 12 volt system using a 240v Inverter. These videos are hard to find mate. 2 questions please .. Can you tell me what size copper wire cables you used to piggy back the batterys together and also what size cables are connected to the invertor from the batterys. And breaker info would all help out as well. Thanks Mate...great job and thanks for sharing 😁👍👍
Not sure what size the cable is that connects the batteries together as they all came with the inverter. As from the main cable to the split charger I got some that was rated 20amp higher than the max Alternator output. Think it was 120 amp. Bloody heavy stuff I can tell ya.
would the engine running all the time at 15 000 revs on tick over keep this running and not deplete the battery's charge ? Or would they still drain over time and need recharging over night again? or would a higher revs say 3/400 keep them charged and not draining ? Can anyone tells me pls. I am trying to figure all this out an be handy to know before i begin.
Hi ya. They are 120ah leasure battries for a caravan. They work very well. But I got a local pitch to me now so only do a 8 mile round trip every day so not really enough to keep them charged. So about every 2 weeks I charge them overnight with a mains charger. Thanks for watching.
All the cheap inverters on ebay are fraudulently rated. That one still looks about 1kva, to be honest. The great problem about running a non-inverter fridge is that the compressor has back-pressure on it if you try to restart it within 25 minutes or so. This tends to overload just about any smallish inverter. To do it properly, you probably need some huge thing that simulates the grid. Running an inverter fridge from Samsung, LG, is much easier, because they have their own speed management systems on the compressor which can figure this out. The bad news is that these modern fridges tend to be a bit large for an RV. I have a 458L Samsung. LG makes some smaller ones. If you can get an inverter fridge, you only need a 250W inverter, and they use very little power on no-load-standby. The larger ones can use 1.1A-3A, which vanishes all your battery.
She is a good system to be fair. I only use it to run the chiller and a snow cone machine. It's been faultless for the last year. I do have to charge the battries tho about once a month because the van dont quite keep up the charging. It's ok but battery meter slowly drops after 4 or 5 weeks. But a overnight charge brings them up again. It did say you needed at least 700ah and I only got 500. I will get more battries when I can make room.

That's a very good system.
Well done and thanks for sharing.
Cheaper to buy a gas fridge, but a very good set up
It is but I also use the 240v for my sno cone machine and led sign and to charge phone / card reader...
pure sine is the way to go with most things i found. i thought mine was cheap at about $600
Nice
This inveter 300 leter deep fridge worked
Hi! How long does it lasts running only on batteries?
Top job!
This is exactly what I’m looking into doing on my van. Thanks for the info.
Did your alternator last or did you have to replace it? @Nordolk Man cave

Great video. Please tell me the name of the inverter and where you bought it, thank you.
I used 16mm betewwen batteries, 32mm from batteries to my 150p/3000w inverter. I am. Still building my van so it's all not yet fully tested..
That’s first go. I did this and after a week the inverter went up in smoke! Its been a year now how did long term go with this experiment?
Do you have a link to where you got the battery monitor from mate as I am looking for something like that
What is the wattage for the inverter.
would the engine running all the time at 15 000 revs on tick over keep this running and not deplete the battery's charge ? Or would they still drain over time and need recharging over night again? or would a higher revs say 3/400 keep them charged and not draining ? Can anyone tells me pls.

Is that a car battery you've use?. About how long it last when full charge?
