I take this trip every weekend to haul frozen groceries from Whole Foods Market. My wife would much rather transport them in a freezer, and not in an ice chest, for her peace of mind...
If I was to buy a larger wattage battery station, do you think that would work? Or should I forget the battery station and buy a pure inverter, not a battery station, that can be plugged into a cigarette lighter outlet in the car?
I recommend you make your own power unit and it will cost some money. A 1000 watt sine wave inverter and a group 27 or 31 AGM battery to supply power. I would still wire a charging circuit from your vehicle to help maintain power. You will need to fully recharge the AGM battery at the end of each trip or it will not live long.
GoPower 1000w $425
Lifeline group 31 $290
There is no $50 solution to this.
