Ironman 65L dual compartment Fridge / Freezer

Really don't think you will have a problem with the battery, I've got an ark pak with 105amh battery myself running the same size fridge and in the tropics I could run it for a week without an issue.

Have you ever had the E3 error code come up on yours? I changed to mains power and got that code. Changed back to 12v and goes. Also. Temp is sticking at around -8 was -17 earlier?

The answer is on the link below, motor blockage or cooling system error

Hmmm. Battery never got over 11.6v today and panel produced 42ahr.

11.6v is well flat. See attached State of Charge (SoC) chart. (Below about 12.3v to 12.4v & you are into significant battery life shortening territory). These are 'rested voltages'. i.e. taken with all loads removed & having let the battery sat for half an hour or so. The readings you have are not very meaningful if taken with the fridge running or any other loads connected....... but your figures are still sufficient to indicate that you are using more than your single panel can replenish.
