    some of those folks are top athletes--this guy is Nick Weis, from Missouri. We've seen him run a 3:36 mile with his dog. That's pretty damn fast

    Wait, are you saying he ran the whole way? If so, he didn’t run a 3:36 mile.

    I'm telling you he ran a 3:36 mile . . . dog-assisted, that's a mile in three minutes, thirty-six seconds

    all ye of little faith . . . I think you underestimate the pulling effect that dogs in the sled dog sports have

    Once again claims of misinformation have proven false. :p

    now, on the original "pet grade beef" question . . . The freezer maintained at +7 deg F for 24 hours with 60 deg F average outside air temps. Consumed 0.26 kWh for that 24 hrs, which would equal 21 amp hours, or roughly 1/5th of the capacity of a 100 amp hour battery, which is (wait for it) . . . half the cost of the 200ah battery I was planning for. So I've ordered a cheaper 100ah lithium ion battery. :cool:

    With my new found "savings" I've decided to splurge and get the Rolls Royce of inverters, a Victron Phoenix 12v/1200va, which has an eco mode that supposedly only draws about 1 watt when there is no load. So I can avoid the 15-20% battery loss that normally occurs with cheaper <cough> Chinese inverters.

    So even with the smaller battery I should only have to charge the battery every 3-5 days with the better inverter.

    someone check my math please ;)

    Too early in the day/week/month/year for math.

    Is that the type of gizmo I could use with my truck?
