G'day,
I'm sure there will be many opinions on this: would it use more battery power to leave the engel (run as a fridge not a freezer) switched on overnight, or to switch it off, and then turn it back on again in the morning?
Would there be different results between hot weather all the time and other conditions, like hot days/cold nights such as you find in the desert?
My thinking is that it would use more power when you restart it in the morning, as it would have to pull the contents down to the preset temperature, which would use more power than holding the beer at that temperature. What does anyone else reckon?
Cheers,
Alex
