[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 588850, member: 3775"] I was kind of hoping It would be closer to around 4 hours per day, 8.( 8.( Which Is why those PLB's are better suited for uk weather when it comes to driving and camping if you don't have the roof space to mount more than 2 150w panels, To achieve the same power you get from One 150w panel in a day I would need a minimum of 6 panels in Autumn and Winter, Where as a PLB will charge in a couple of hours and in the cooler weather it will run the 18L fridge for about 4 and a half days and about 3 days in the warm months and it will run the ARB for about 2 and a half days in the warmer months, The bigger 78L set to -16*c will use most of the PLB's power in 24 hours but it can be fully charged in 3 to 4 hours Max, I was looking at getting a Victron DC - DC but I am not sure which size to get, Do you know if they are any good and do you connect them to the Alternator or the Vehicle's Battery, ??
