13 amps, with a straight pull from the panels between 11 am and 1 pm? It only hold two quarts of water, which is enough ice to replace melted cooler stuff AND FOR RUM!
My point was to use it only off panels. On our boat, my single battery is always charged before 11 am on my 100 watt. I'm seriously considering this, as I'd just have to add one more.
I have a crazy idea to buy a 24 volt trolling motor and either run the ice machine or the motor when the wind is light.
