How long a battery will last

[JimmyC Advanced Member Find all posts View Profile Close JimmyC]

Hi all,
Thought I'd start a thread on this as I spent a bit of time researching this and couldn't find much real info.
Might help people who aren't too electrically minded to make decisions on accessories.
Any replies I was thinking to go like:
Aux Battery type/size: XXX
Accessories run: XXX
Duration: XXX
Considerations (weather/behaviour/etc)
I'll start.
Aux Battery: Optima Blue top 55AH- no solar
Accessories run: Evakool 60L, 30w LED light, UHF
Duration: Fridge run for approx. 14 hours straight @5 degrees. UHF for 14 hours (nil rec'd/transmitted), light for approx. 2 hours.
Considerations: 38 degrees light, down to 28 overnight. Fridge gauge in morning showed 12.2 (compressor off) 11-11.6 (compressor running).

Cheers for the link, some good info on that thread, you're right about a lot of reading, already found some food for thought.
Can't find much on the 'real world' aspect though, a lot of theoretical stuff.
Using this thread to find peoples actual experiences with batteries, in other words, simplify it.
