I want to power the fridge with a Goal Zero Yeti 400 (Capacity: 400Wh, 33Ah; output: 12V, up to 10A (120W) will it work? anything to consider?

It will run it but who knows for how long. To give you a better way of how to estimate it... My D34/78 optima yellow top had the fridge running (fully stocked) for 32ish hours before the low voltage light started blinking on the fridge. That run time was in the middle of August with a 65 degree (F) temperature differential with direct sun exposure while it was sitting in the back of my truck. The fridge was set at 32F and it was just under 100F with 100% humidity outside in NYC.

No the generator acts as an inverter. There is a built in charge controller. If it supplies 1250 watts output you need to factor in number of appliance wattage output. Also, there is a peek start up wattage that can be higher than 1250 watts, this will trip the charge controller for auto shut down. Look at the specs on the www.goalzero.com site, especially as pertains to how much amperage each yeti input can handle for plugging in items to be powered by the yeti. I have 4 vmax AMD 125 w batteries for the battery bank and like that I can use the yeti to charge the battery bank with yeti or solar panels. There is a new charge controller coming out for the Yeti in 2016 that should handle load better. It's a good product but as a backup system I am getting a 3000/8000 watt inverter for the battery bank that can handle additional start up loads. The inverter will have built in charge controller.

I would say "yes", Sandra; 110VAC to 12VDC/5A is standard for portable coolers. Mine works great, I use it everyday! (on the convertor in my office) It actually cools better on the AC adapter than when I've used it of the 12VDC from the car. Hope this helps! :)

It can carry 20amps so that should do it. You might want to read the owners manual for the freezer to make sure.

Not entirely sure but there isnt anything too unique other than itvis a deep cycle marine battery with high cold cranking amps for starting the motor. If the fridge truely runs on a 12v battery it would probably be fine but might be overkill and you could look at cheaper options.

This unit should be powerful enough to start your fridge. This unit will run as long as the batteries provide over 12 volts under load.

Mine will run a small 700 watt air unit in my shop just fine and it ran my old refrigerator just fine but it will not run the new energy star fridge. The new fridge would not even try to turn on. I guess it looks at the input to see if it is good and gave this inverter a fail.

I'm a bit unclear about what you are referring to here, Peter N.; did you mean a USB 3.0 battery powered charger? I would assume the fridge can draw power from any USB source, including a USB battery powered charger, but since IMHO it does not cool adequately when plugged into a computer, it might work even worse when plugged into a battery powered USB charger. I would expect the best results when plugged into a USB wall plug adapter and not very good ones even then.

circuit capacity I assume you mean voltage, which would 120 volts a.c. yes it will freeze ice. this a good product at a great price.You cannot go wrong.

Look at http://www.sunpentown.com/rf32cudodore1.html: it says 95W, 1.1 Amp. I had it plugged in to a 15 amp circuit, shared with a TV and several lights, with no problem. By the way, I have had this fridge for many years and it still works fine.

Oh, haha I destroyed my fridge already lol. Just buy any power supply, and splice the adaptor which connects to the fridge to it. Remember to practice safe soldering, keeping sure to insulate all internal components of the wires with shrink tubing. Use a power supply rated at US 120AC in and 12v 5A out. It should fix our problem

Just remember not to exceed the 10a limit, I really don't recommend running it at 10a if you dont have to, and if you do, try to get more cooling. Make sure the plus and minus are the correct polarity, and (not neccessary, but recomended) put a little voltage moniter on the output, to make sure that it is not going above 19.5v

hey Icepuck, did this work? Could you do same with a battery charger I am wondering? Im trying to run 12v lights off a generator and trying to find a solution... FF here too and rigging out a response trailer..

This one should do the trick. It's 150w and 19.5v. It's great for my power hungry alienware. Good luck!

You need to check your notebook cooler to see if it supports the voltage. I doubt it though. USB2 supplies 5V DC and 500mA. If your cooler shows a higher rating than that: don't try it. You'll break the cooler.

This temperature controller acts like a switch. If you put the hot side of the 110v line through the contacts for the LOAD (NOT the power to the device) then it would switch the refrigerator on and off. This needs 12v to power the device and light up the display. What it switches can be 12v or 110v or 220v just watch the amps to not be too high. 130w is about 1.2 amp so no problem with that load.If you do not understand the difference between 12v DC and 110v AC, please be sure to ask someone who does know for help.

The Goal Zero Yeti 1250 provides up to 1250 watts of 120 vac. You will need to have a 36 volt charger that uses 120 vac. The deciding factor would be the wattage used by the charger. I tested my Yeti with a well pump and power tools that consumed 800 plus watts and could run continuously for an hour. If your golf cart charger consumes less than that, the useful time to run the Yeti will go up. You can go to the Goal Zero web site and get more information.
