Hi,
I have a 3 way fridge / freezer.
When i camped last year i ran it on gas all the time but due to Australian weather it was over 30c for a few days and the gas struggled.
i can run on my 100ah deep cycle battery which has 1x 80w solar + 1x 60w solar panel to a regulator to it. The problem is the fridge is power hungry at 12v
Specs
240v - 72w
12v - 72w
What my question is.
I have an 800w inverter, would it be better and last longer running the fridge at 240v on the 800w invert than straight 12v to the battery?
