Re: What inverter to get for a Dometic CFx35 fridge

Is this for the starter battery or the house? Usually, cig plugs are low watts with thin wires and not good for bigger DC loads, which need fatter wires to the battery bank. My Batteries are 2,6 Volt Deep cycle lead acid wired in series, so I have 12 Volts. They are the house Battery not the starter for the van. OK, so, I don't want to use the cig lighter, 12 volt DC because the wires are to thin. Got it. I'm gonna use an inverter (which changes the current to DC from AC) for the fridge. In my manual, it says 120V- 0.72A. Is 120V the same as 110V? 110 V is AC, regular wall outlet right? SO at 0.72A times 110V = 79.2 Watts. Does that mean I can use my 400 watt inverter I already have? Thanks again so much everybody for the information! I would have responded earlier but I had to get outside and enjoy the nice weather!1KViews0likes0CommentsWhat inverter to get for a Dometic CFx35 fridge
Hello! I purchased a Dometic CF35 fridge a while back and was wondering what inverter to purchase. I have a Chevy 3500 cargo van I converted to a camper. There are 2, 100 watt panels on the roof, 2 lead acid batteries wired together in "series" For a while now I have been using the solar set up for powering small things, ceiling lights, cell phone, laptop, Fantastic fan in roof. I've been playing it safe and not drawing to much power, but now with the fridge, I better learn all the Watts, Amps, Volts stuff....lol Question 1. Should I use an inverter or a 12 volt cig lighter to power my Dometic cfx35? Question 2. If I go with the inverter, I believe I would need a 1000 watt one. We multiply the (Amps) by 110 (Volts) to obtain the (Watts) right? So, in my manual, where it lists "rated current" I see, 12V- 7.0A 24V-3.2A 120V 0.72A Which one is it? 7A, 3.2A, or 0.72A? Is one for the cig lighter, the other for 110? Any help from the experts on this site would be most appreciated!2.9KViews0likes11Comments
