I’m getting ready to a swap out to a residential fridge and wanted to get some feedback on my inverter and battery monitor. For the inverter I’m looking at the AIMS Power 2000W inverter with built in transfer switch. For the battery monitor I’m looking at the Victron SmartShunt 500 amp. I don’t have solar and mainly will use the inverter for when I’m traveling to keep the refrigerator running. We don’t boondock and I currently have 2 100 AH lead acid batteries which gives me 100 AH usable power. We do sometimes have longer travel days around 10 to 11 hours if we are on a long trip. If I don’t have enough capacity to last that long I will probably look at a DC-DC charger powered from my truck. One other thing I was wondering about is will the Victron battery monitor show how much charge I’m currently getting from my 7 way on the truck? Any thoughts or suggestions would be appreciated.
