Its a bit misleading to say recent takeout, don't you think? Its been out for well over a year, and almost two.

Not sure where you got that impression, but the system was removed in March 2015. Maybe you have me confused with someone else.

bill, Im looking to convert my current AC refrig to DC. This model looks like it will work with my existing plates but Im a little concerned about the amp draw. How big of a battery bank were you using it with?

How old is it? Does it come with the water pump? I assume it would have to be charged after it is installed?

thanks
bill

The DC500 draws 40 amps in start up mode (about 15-20 mins) and then levels out at about 22 amps. On my boat, the ice box is about 7 cu ft. It takes about 2 hrs to freeze the single plate. I have 4 x 6v deep cycle batteries that store 420 Ah and a separate 12 v starting battery. If possible, I cool the box and freeze the plates at dockside. Offshore, I generally run the reefer while charging house batteries to minimize draw on house batteries. The water pump is part of the compressor unit. I have all components. All you would need is some tubing and wire. I have the drier unit, but believe it would have to be replaced for a "new" installation. Yes, the system would have to be re-charged.

Manuals are included.

Hope that helps. Send me a PM and we can talk by phone, if you wish.
