Cold beverage setup complete. Yeti Goal Zero 400 Lithium plugged into factory AC inverter. ARB fridge into Yeti AC. I know that it isn’t the most efficient this way because of the ac/dc conversion but it works best for the Yeti. Trust me I know all of the options, upgrades, dual batteries etc. but after much research (reading about every thread on this forum, Expedition Portal and OB) I found the flexibility of this setup would work best for our needs. Just need to add a 100 watt solar panel and I’m good to go off the grid for a while. After testing, the fridge ran for 21 hours in Florida heat (while empty and set at 34 degrees F). It pulls 70w with compressor running and 10-15 with it off. 5 amp draw with compressor running, .8 when not running. Well within spec of the Yeti. The key is to set the battery protection on the ARB to low (10.3 v) as you don’t have to worry about draining it and not being able to start a vehicle.
