Need some automotive wiring help?
I puchased a mini electric cooler (its power consumptions is 48 watts x 4 amps) I'm looking into buying a solar panel to run it rather then having it drain my battery, however i dont think the panel will put out enough power to operate it, so I was thinking, I have an old capasitor I used for my high wattage amplifier, (if only half a farad) but still holds a charge, if i wired the cap into the cooler, and then hooked the solar panel up to the battery to keep that charged, do you think it would keep the battery charged along with running the cooler?
Just like the other posts mentioned - its not a matter of upgrading the storage - its about how much you can put into it.
You can look to putting a small storage battery on it, and then using smaller panels to charge the battery IF you only intermittently use the cooler. The cooler would likely run well for a time before the battery drops charge.
If you're looking for a panel that can do the cooler, I linked to one that will output that amount. In your case you wouldn't need the inverter since you're running straight to a 12V powered device, but at that point, you may want to consider an inverter on that battery so you could actually run small 110V devices off it as well as running your cooler.
