These numbers seem very high. See JandL's posts above. That said, I concur with the two GC2 recommendation. The common dealer supplied Gp24 battery is ~80AH vs 220AH for the two golfers. A no brainer for me.

| Originally posted by WillThrill Regarding the refrigerator's use of electricity, it does draw about 1-1.5 amps (12-18 watts) of current to run the circuit board even when you're cooling it with propane. With a regular marine battery (88 amp hours or so), this and the smoke and propane detectors (about another 1 amp) will draw your battery down to 50%, which you don't want to go below unless you really need to, in less than one full day. That's why so many people who boondock with them either invest in a solar panel(s) or a generator to recharge the battery. I would strongly urge you to get two golf cart batteries rather than a single marine or deep cycle battery. Two regular golf cart batteries will have nearly double the capacity of a marine battery, and they can withstand more punishment as well. |
