Fidgebox power consumtion feedback
      12/05/2008 19:52

With this heat wave (around 25degC midday here) and the boat sat on the mooring I have had a chance to accuratly monitor the new fidgebox. Its a Waeco 48L compressor driven fridge/freezer with accurate thermostatic control and digital readout set to 3degC. I have just been using it for lunch stuff and milk while working on the boat so it does get opened a few times and its faily empty so should be a good test. It maintains temp within 1 deg and uses about 18/19 ah/day which sounds pretty good, given how simple they are to install and maintain. I would definatly recomend one for light/mod fridge use and has the option to use as a freezer for long trips. Don't know how power hungry that would be.
