I have a USB,very low power,fridge that will keep insulin at or below 40 degrees with a very low power demand for extended situations and I keep about 10 months ahead in rotation...the USB fridge is to chill ONE soda can though works well for my load of insulin.
That sounds like a fantastic item, so, if you thought that your outage would have been even longer, I take it you just would have never powered up the fridge off of batteries, and instead just powered that little thing ? Would it then go a couple weeks ?
My fridge is on one of a very few outlets that are not directly connected to my batteries, so I have to run an extension cord to it, so unless it is more than 24 hours, I dont bother. Food is fine. I spent money summer before last on a few expensive batteries, wish I had bought one more of them, I should have charged it, as it would be better to have that bit more of amps available, there is enough capacity, but having more amps available at one time, and more capacity would have been more ideal. But, too expensive and too far to drive to bother with at this point. I am fine for days on the batteries, how many days depends on what other decisions are made. I have solar panels to recharge, if the sun is out. If I wanted to run a week I would (1) turn the breaker off for the pressure pump and make due with lower water pressure (2) not run the dishwsher or washing machine, limit entertainment power useage.
does Smurf know about this USB fridge? Insulin sure does need back ups to your back ups.
