[QUOTE="Ridge Runner, post: 616059, member: 3775"] So where yours was set to 3*c in an Ambient temp of 15 to 16*c I just finished a 24 hour test and heres what I got Running the little Dometic CDF-18L from the PLB-40. Fridge temp 1.1 to 2*c with an ambient temp of 23.4 to 23.8*c PLB dial reading = 64% SOC, 36% power used, Actual power used 35.265% = 1.469% per hour Ah per hour = 0.587Ah X 24hrs = 14.106Ah. So at 80% / 1.469 = 54.458 Hours. OR 54hrs 27 minutes, My Dometic does not have an Eco or a Boost mode, it's just switch on and Go so I would expect your BM to get a bit better mileage. I then ran the PLB so the Dial was reading 62% SOC and now I have put it on charge via it's own AC power pack and I am timing it to see houw long it takes to get back up to 100% then I will post it here.
