David, I don’t know much about the LinkPro, so I can’t say how it shows you data (but I bet Street-Smarts Fred Street can.) On my Link 2000, it shows me time left at the current draw. For example, if I put on my cabin LEDs, it shows 250 hours. When I put on my running lights, I’ll see 230

Hi Edd- I have considered one of those devices, but it seems you have to still have to know the rate of draw of the refridgerator,fans,lights and what is the acceptable lowest voltage/charge of the house battery. I guess that device will tell you the rate of draw in amps. If I know those

David, While there are calculations you can use, rate of battery discharge is also affected by battery age and temperature. And, since I’m really, really good at spending other people’s money, I’d suggest installing a Battery Monitoring System:

David, You need to calculate the amp/hours the fridge uses to know how long you can run it before drawing your battery below the appropriate SOC. Even if its on, its not running all the time. Somewhere I have a spreadsheet that estimates all of my daily power needs. Its on a different computer,

This discussion raises an issue I have struggled with as I have started cruising more: deciding how much battery power I have. I have 2 AGM batteries, one house, one starting and a panel voltmeter for monitoring. My batteries are now separated so I no longer have to worry about being able to
