Hello,
It is time for me to stop lurking and try my hand at recycled 18650's.
Looking to build a battery to power our portable freezer at the Farmers Market. It is currently being powered by a 12 volt deep cycle lead/acid that is hooked up to a solar panel to keep the battery charged.
The freezer is able to run also at 24 volts so was thinking to build a 8S 20p battery which if my math is correct would givearound 44 amp hours, and be about 26 volts. The freezer pulls 2.5 amps at 24 volts so that should give me around 17 hours of run time. Is that correct or am I looking at it incorrectly?
Any suggestions are welcomed as nothing is in stone yet, and this will my 1st project dealing with 18650s.
Thank you for your suggestion
