Hello All,

Today I purchased my small motor and looked at marine deep cycle batteries. (They sale Starting and Deep cycle) The largest ones I could find are rated at 125ah for 69.00. I will be using two or three of these to create a battery bank. I found this site: http://www.xantrex.com/support/howlong.asp that will calculate run times on a bank of batteries. With a 375ah pack I will get 62.5 constant draw hours out of the pack.

I am thinking that I should get a lot more run time as a refrigerator cycles on and off as needed. It looks like it will take quite awhile to re-charge though with my home-brew system.

Is this a reasonable plan?

Dave
