As usual, thank all of you for this input!
This forum is so great.
@lx200inAR,
Capital idea! This shows how little I understand electricity. I don’t understand how a device, an inverter in this case, can somehow “create” more energy!
But nevertheless, I don’t doubt you.
I actually have a 300W inverter.
Problem is, as soon as I plugged my Ecoflow into the inverter this morning, it blew the 15A fuse between the Aux battery and the 12v plug I had installed in my cargo area.
Thoughts on what I can do differently?
Edit: in looking at the Ecoflow app, I see I can actually restrict the wattage input on the AC side. I can pick 200W or 300w and then it’s a slider up to 1200W

To be fair, that 70F testing environ was my living room. I too am in Texas and it’s still grossly hot here.
But I don’t plan on using this fridge much here in Houston. Mostly it’s for camping and I think the idea of camping in this heat is for crazy people.
I’m actually heading up to San Rafael Swell in Utah where it should be considerably cooler. I just don’t want to have to rely on colder ambient temps to prolong my battery life.

Yes, the ecoflow Dleta 2 is limited to 500W through solar, but am I reading it wrong that it actually allows up to 1100W DC if it’s not solar?
EcoFlow DELTA 2 equips modern families with backup power for any emergency. Incredibly fast charging: 0%-80% in 50 min. Be prepared, always.

Though since there is only one DC input, I’m not sure how it would differentiate.
And thanks for the suggestion of the YouTube videos. I actually searched for a DC to DC charger last night after
@lx200inAR suggested it, but everything I found didn’t seem plug and play - more that I would need to rewire some things. This is why I went with my 300W inverter instead this morning.
But I didn’t think to watch the YouTube videos - which I will do now. Perhaps using a DC to DC wouldn’t be as involved as I fear.
So, thank you for your suggestion!
