Thinking of installing a Victron charger for those days on the road when solar is not available. Can the charger be used in conjunction with an inverter (2000 watts) to run the refrigerator on electri...

Camper Jeff & Kelli,
Is there a cooling fan in the Victron dc to DC unit?
The charging total from the numbers posted suggest about 56 amp-hours went into the 400 amp-hour battery bank.
Were you driving or was this just idling the engine?
Does anyone know the efficiency numbers for the Victron dc to DC charger? (appears to be 87%)
The unit puts out 25 amps at normal input voltage, according to the pdf. That seems a bit strange to me. Perhaps I'm reading the wrong pdf? The "sales" pages says 30 amps continuous to 40 amps, at nominal out put voltage.
From that 87% it appears the alternator had to produce about 65 amp-hours.
The Victron apparently boost charges for 2 hours on the Li settings.
I know my unit does 19.6 amps. It is the 20 amp renogy unit.
I'm glad to hear yours is doing what you need!
