Engel Fridge running time

My 40 ltr Engel will run at that temp for 12-16 hrs overnite with plenty of charge left for starting. This depends on the battery you're running, age, and engel draw current to hold 1-2 degrees. My old engel (10 yrs) would flatten overnite, but new one with turbo fan- no worries!

are you talking about being in the tropics or the ice age ( south of QLD ) as the insulation on the engels makes a difference on power draw. Col

Sorry Simon,

Just another indefinite answer and it does obviously rely on battery condition, setup etc, but maybe try the following pieces of the puzzle and put it all together; Post Ids: 4081, 3750, 3634 plus use the search engine on the word "Engel".

A new engel draws 2.5a/h at its maximum,,,so if you had a 100amp battery it would be 40hrs to run flat at its worse....,,,,,,,so i would ½ it and go from there........
We took our fridge away in the back seat of our VX Commodore (40L engel) which has a standard battery,, up strez track in February in 50 degree heat and left it locked up in the car all day and that night and the car started fine the next morning..._____________________________________________

Just used our new 40 litre Engel over easter. Running dual set up, but 2nd battery is the old main battery which could no longer be used for starting last winter. It ran for close to 30 hours with one charge up of 30 min (wood run), with still plenty to go. Mind you easter was only about 21 degrees for the whole 5 days so not a real torture test. Plus we only use it for food, drinks come via a good old esky and beer via a Keg/temprite set up.
