Hi,
I’ve recently installed two 100 aH Battleborn batteries and have a Victron IP22 for shore power. The only load while at home (and on shore power) is a refrigerator that cycles at 2.5 amps. I have enabled float at 13.5 and am hoping that the float will keep the batteries at 100% until I leave for a trip while supporting the fridge.
Will this complicate the tracking of battery-state with my BMV-712? And, will it have a negative effect on battery longevity?
I’d like to get the full ten-year life span of these batteries, but don’t want to remove the fridge each time I return home. I’ve been toying with the idea of installing a 120v spst relay that will switch the fridge over to a 15 amp 12 volt power supply while on shore power.
What does everyone think? Is it worth the trouble to install a shore power supply for the fridge? Or, am I worrying about nothing?
Knowledgable input is appreciated!
