Hey y'all, been looking through the threads about what batteries people are running and such and it's a big commitment, I've got kinda a unique issue...
Looks like there is an ARB compressor under the tree, I currently power a 50qt fridge and a small invertor for charging needs. My current batter is an isolated Duracell 100ah AGM (way too big for the slee tray) powered by a 100w Renongy with their 20A mppt charge controller all in the back of the cab.
Moving to the Slee tray it doesn't seem like a great idea to run my current battery in parallel and I'd like to have some sort of controller/isolator to connect with my main battery so I can charge while driving. Is there an issue doing this while also having the solar panel charging the battery/ies?
I'm just a bit confused on the next step, ditch my huge 100ah battery and buy 2 matching AGM's that fit in the front? When it's really hot or I'm not directly in the sun all day I have had issues keeping my current battery charged enough. Realistically I'd like to be able to ad a winch at some point, but for now I just need the compressor(obviously not a ton of use), fridge, and inverter.
Thanks for taking the time, I'll keep reading what already out there..
