First, use TWO 6V golf cart batteries wired in series for 12V. Placed them on a 3-4" thick piece of foam to keep them off the ice.
Second, get a 12VDC fan.
Third, spend the money and get a pure sine wave inverter. 1000W should be more than enough for what you want to run (no fan) unless I am guessing wrong on the satellite box.
Fourth, I am not sure if LCD TV would do well if you left them there and the temperature drop to -20F.
If the batteries are fully charged (make sue you have a GOOD muti-stage charge) when you leave and you put them back on the charge for a couple of hours when you return. I would not worry about the batteries. You do need to check and fill them with distilled water. Of course, hauling them back into a warm cabin would be better.
So two 6V GC would be better than my two 12V deep cycles? I was hoping to not spend a lot, but my RV battery will need to be replace so I guess I could put the CG batteries in the TT next spring, right?
In a quick search I saw batteries plus carries duracell. 208 amp hour for $99, 220 amp hour for $109
$199 for a 255 amp hour, I dont want to spend that much.
I will get the true sinewave. Last year the cheap 750 watt inverter from norther tool ran both tv's, satalite and fan, but the fan hummed.
No need to get batteries off ice as they will be sitting on a carpeted floor.
What a 12V DC fan? Would I then have issues when running off gen power?
