Hi all,

This is my first post so hello to everyone.

I am fairly new to solar panels (well no idea really). Ok what I have is this:

I purchased 2 x MSX30 Solar panels from a rural clearance sale in Queensland ($50 each). My friend also purchased some so I can get more if needed. I want to connect these to a fridge for when I do a couple of trips.

I put a meter on it the other day and it puts out about 23v DC.

My first trip is to Birdsville for the races, so I only need power for about 3 days. The fridge is going to be a Engel MT45F.

Ok for my questions, what do I need to do to get this to work.

What battery(s)
Do I need a module so they dont over cook batteries (if possible)?
Will these even do the job?
Any suggestions at all, can I connect these together etc?

Thank you in advance.

Craig
