Weather the Storm

A solar generator is a great idea! Can the electricity be taken directly from the battery generator and is it strong enough for the fridge? What does the thing look like and is it available internationally?

Blue Bird,

There are many brands out there but the one I purchased is Bluetti. I'm pretty sure they ship internationally and yes you just plug whatever you want into it (within the limits of course).

As far as powering your fridge, it all depends on the wattage of it. The label inside should list it. That would be the peak wattage when the compressor is running which would not be all the time.

So if you have a fridge that draws 250 watts and you have a 2000 W battery generator, the fridge would stay on for about 8 hours. Probably longer as it wouldn't be pulling the full 250 watts all the time.

Then you have to find a way to recharge your battery generator, either with electricity (which you still may not have), solar (which can be hooked up while the generator is working so you'll get more hours of run time. But you have to have sun for that!), or even your cr can charge it (but that usually takes a long time).

I have the AC200P (2 actually).

Wow, I have never heard of such a thing. My power goes out frequently in the winter, which of course is the time there is no sun to generate solar power. I have a gas generator but I try to only use it when I have to since it's a heavy thing to drag around. And noisy.....during the winter I hear the sound of them echoing all through the hills as the people on neighboring properties fire theirs up.
