Stupid battery and solar questions
I figure I am going to have a lot of them, so I better put all in one thread :B. My situation: - I mainly want solar for running residential freezer and fridge, maybe also for charging my shave ...

So I am set to get some of these batteries today. But how many should I get?
I want to be able to run my current small freezer, plus another larger one, for 12 hours, with no solar input.
The numbers I am finding online don't seem to add up. My current freezer is an Edgestar medical freezer, 1.8 amps, 65 watts, according to mfr's specs. But an online calculator tells me that 1.8 amps AC is 220 watts. ???
I don't have specs on a second freezer, but online numbers say they are around 3-7 amps, probably 5 amps.
Do I need 4 of these 135aH batteries? More?
