[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 597357, member: 3775"] I thought about going to 135's as they seem to have the biggest plates which means they can take a beating and hold a heap of power, I have 6x 150w matching panels I would have to link them 3+3 giving over 24v @ about 15A+/- but it is pointless unless they are in a fixed location because of the lack of Sun, It's crazy because I can charge my 40Ah Lithium pack with a 120w panel in just a couple of hours but it does not pay to draw too much from my AGM's and my Lead Acid batteries, I nearly bought one of the Brass Monkey fridges the other day, but until I deliver a couple of fridges I got for people I thought I better wait, They seem to be the one to beat. Would a 300w have a low enough draw just to give you a bit of headroom ? Trouble with inverters is every time you buy one they seem to get bigger and bigger, I started off with a 300 and then an 800/2000 which I gave to my brother and he gave me a 600/1500 and then I bought a 1500w/3000w True sign wave and now I have gone back to my 300 and the 600 due to the "No Load" draw the bigger ones have.
