*Indel-B Fridge/Freezer GROUP BUY AND BS THREAD!!!**CLOSED

after hitting up some marine forums ive found my battery

1000cca

880 @0*

 

Wow. 105 amp hours! Not bad...

 

If you can still get them. I think those guys got discontinued

 

Of course... Haha

I'm thinking about this one now.

Negative.. they are in stock right down the road from me

 

I did some digging and these are made by Deka. Seems like a really good bang for the buck especially since the Sears batteries are discontinued making these the only good budget option.

 

I love my deka's!!!

 

I discovered the same, i didnt know it was such a good thing but the fisherman on the fish forum were freaking the fuck out about it so im def gonna buy it now lol 180 + cheap dual battery and im looking at less than 250 bones for the total setup

 

Pretty sure I'm up for a new BlueTop. 2008 date, and it's had a couple of 0v discharges.

 

So at the beg of the thread, it seemed like one would be fine running the fridge off ONLY a main startng battery, mine is now 1yr old.

Daily driven, and while camping it would or could be started once a day or more. I would like to just leave it in the truck and running 24/7.

Is that asking for trouble? I would like to avoid a dual battery setup, the fridge will be the only thing pulling from the battery when the truck is off.

 

Thanks for the info! I did some reading after you mentioned that and you are correct... Luckily my Arkpak has the display info to let me know...

 

West Marine branded batteries are also made by Deka. Very good batteries in my opinion. And I'm not saying that just because I sell them. I've had very good luck with them over the years even before I sold them. One of the few batteries out there still made in the US, too.

When I add a 2nd battery I'll be going with one of them in group 31 hopefully. With a blue sea ACR in between batteries with a remote switch in the cab to manually combine them just in case.

 

Please put me down for a TF51. Thank you putting this together.

my exact same thoughts.

 

Nothing wrong with doing that, but you run the risk of draining your battery low enough to not start the truck. And regular starting batteries don't like to be drained like a deep cycle does. You risk permanently damaging your battery doing that.

You can rely on the voltage cutoff on the fridge but some think even the highest setting leaves the battery too low. I'm not sure I agree with that, but I havent had much experience there.

 

Put me down for a TF51. Do you know if paypal is accepted or is it credit card only?

 

Paypal will be accepted.

I know Paypal is normally an option through Truck Fridge, but they are working on a set of ordering instructions for me. Unfortunately they don't have the ability to add a coupon code to their site, so this may affect Paypal transactions. I'll clarify with them once I receive instructions.

 

Thanks, either way works, but I would prefer paypal if possible.

 

So a deep cycle to replace the starting battery should help prevent that issue a little bit? I would eventually also plan on putting a solar panel on the roof to help charge the battery.
