SunStar DC Chest Freezer Part 2

Testing out the DC chest freezer on the 24V battery bank. Also, finding the advantages of having 2 full size freezers which makes defrosting a simple task, more on that in an upcoming video.

Seems to use around 60W of power on either 12V or 24V. Runs up to around 75W when starting from ambient temperature, but power consumption falls to under 60W as the inside cools down.

Freezer is made in the US by:
Solar Freeze, Llc
LaGrange Indiana

It is as "no frills" as you can get, manual defrost, no digital display, no WiFi, just a plain old thermostat dial and a power and fault LED indicator. Ordered from:

They seemed to have the best price including shipping. They are located in Canada, so you may get hit with a currency conversion fee when ordering, but there was no sales tax added.

I would post a link to the Solar Freeze web site, but they don't have one. This company is old school in every sense.

This project has taken over a year to complete, so videos have been shot at various times over that period.

More to come...
