From those numbers I’d say your fridge box insulation is not working.

I’m running a 200 litre fridge/freezer combo in temperatures in the high 30s and only get through 40 - 60 AH per day (at 12 v) with my twin plate Ozefridge.

It’s a common misunderstanding to think the compressor is the problem when really it’s the fridge box itself. With all due regard to Ozefridge, their system is of a similar efficiency to any other good system on the market. So any other fridge system in your poorly insulate fridge box is going to use the same amount of power.

Re: Ozefridge Reviews

I had a novacool bd50 with a freezer box previously and it did the job well. I changed because the novacool had about 18 feet of copper pipe running from compressor in lazarette
