Testing the Goldenmate 12.8v 100AH LiFePo4 Battery

In this video I'm putting the Goldenmate 100AH 12.8v LiFePo4 battery to the test by hooking it up to my small Jackery 550 power station and seeing if it will run my Smittybilt 75l dual zone refrigerator for a full 4 or 5 days at our off grid cabin.

When you are off grid, whether full time or part time sometimes you want a simple, inexpensive way to power just a limited number of items and I decided to see if the Goldenmate 100AH 12.8v 1280wh LiFePo4 battery is up to the task when married with a small power station.

This is also a great solution for overlanding by extending your power station life simply by adding a battery! Check out the battery here! https://tinyurl.com/yjawbmam and use code OLDJARHEAD to get 15% off!
