Re: Seeking Advice: Emergency Insulin Refrigeration Solutions for Power Outages in High Heat

The 12 volt travel fridge does not draw much power to keep cool enough for the insulin. I have had several over the years in my semi before the big sleepers with big fridges. With a small solar setup and battery you should be able to keep that small fridge going easily. superduty38 Thanks for weigh...

Re: Seeking Advice: Emergency Insulin Refrigeration Solutions for Power Outages in High Heat

I'm not going to claim that I'm an expert, but for the power source I would go with solar powered batteries and solar panels. You could always start with one battery and one panel and a more batteries as the budget permits. If one battery can be used to power a small fridge, electric cooler, or som...

Re: Seeking Advice: Emergency Insulin Refrigeration Solutions for Power Outages in High Heat

A battery powered generator plus solar panels to charge it could work. Keep in mind, a fridge has much higher starting loads than running, so probably better to get a dorm fridge. A more "outside the box" option is a countertop ice maker. And yes, a traditional gas generator would also wo...

Re: Seeking Advice: Emergency Insulin Refrigeration Solutions for Power Outages in High Heat

12V fridge/cooler, deep cycle marine battery, and a 100W solar panel. Done and done. This seems like the most straightforward solution, though I might substitute a lithium battery, which can be essentially emptied of charge and then recharged with no ill effects. Only downside is the potential for ...

Re: Seeking Advice: Emergency Insulin Refrigeration Solutions for Power Outages in High Heat

I have an automotive 12 volt refrigerator in my overland truck it's 37 qts. temp range is adjustable from -6 to 60 degrees. My 100 AH battery in my truck will last 3 days without re-charging. I would recommend a 100 to 200 watt solar unit to charge a 100 AH battery it should have no problem keeping...

Re: Seeking Advice: Emergency Insulin Refrigeration Solutions for Power Outages in High Heat

I have a "solar" generator with 200 W panels that will keep it charged. Would power a small refrigeration unit no problem. As well as be available for other tasks. Not very expensive either. SupportTheSecond Thanks for sharing about your solar generator setup. It's a relief to hear that y...

Re: Seeking Advice: Emergency Insulin Refrigeration Solutions for Power Outages in High Heat

12V fridge/cooler, deep cycle marine battery, and a 100W solar panel. Done and done. QuietM4 So the ideal is to use the solar panel to trickle charge the marine battery as that runs the Fridge? Any estimates on how long this setup could run the fridge? Hours? Days? Weeks? Thank you for the idea wit...

Re: Seeking Advice: Emergency Insulin Refrigeration Solutions for Power Outages in High Heat

Most people don't consider it, but your car is a excellent backup generator. It can produce 500-800W at idle and does not consume much fuel at idle. A smaller 4 cylinder car is on the order or 1/4-1/2 gallon consumption per hour. If you are good about never letting your tank run low you could have ...

Re: Seeking Advice: Emergency Insulin Refrigeration Solutions for Power Outages in High Heat

My first thought was a generator. But, consider a chest freezer and a temp control module to turn it into a refrigerator. Those will stay cold for days, and even if you open it, no cold air gets out, and no hot air in. Plus, if you fill it with other things, that will help maintain the temp. mtptwo...

Re: Israel reverses stance on gun control

What an interesting response to your country's people being slaughtered in the streets. This is like getting security cameras on your house after a break in has happened. I'm still very saddened by what happened.
