Jeff...More data points....Two big separate cold plate boxes..one freeze, one fridge with front opening door (lets the cold air out!). Both well insulated.
Seafrost DC compressor draws 40 AMPS...(no typo!!) but only runs a few times a day for about 1/2 hour at a time as it freezes the cold plates solid in about a half hour. Averages 150 AH/day in 80+ degree weather.
