I have a Waeco FF90 fridge and it really struggles running on a 12v battery when it is not being charged by the vehicle. When I am on a fishing trip I have a Honda 2kva generator that runs the fridge and I use a battery charger to charge a battery at the same time (either a Waeco Thumper or 80AH battery) and then when the generator runs out of fuel it automatically switches to using the battery power that has just been on charge (through the mobitronic). The fridge really struggles while on 12v and after 4hrs on freeze it really starts cutting in and out all the time. My question is would I be better hooking up 2 12v batteries (maybe 30-60AH) as 24v - I think the fridge would run alot better on that? If so then how do I charge both the batteries while they are linked? Could I also hook my dual batteries up in my vehicle to have 24v from one cig socket without putting 24v through everything???? Any information/ideas would be great. Is there any 24v power packs available? If so I could then just buy a 24v charger and use that.
Thanks
JD
