All similar fridges when used as a freezer will require a lot of power to run. 250whrs per day for a fridge is pretty good. Works out to about 20amps per day or 0.8amps per hour. Be hard to find a fridge that size that uses less power. I don't think you researched the power consumption of 12V fridges. Ideal setup would be to have 100ah battery and small solar panel. Battery will power fridge for 4-5 days by itself with no solar. I have the same fridge and never had an issue not being able to power it 24/7. Unrealistic to try and run from just the car battery
ive just bought one. Ive got a 120ah leasiure battery with 190w solar panel In my camper. Do you think this is going to be ok to run continuously over say a week trip?
@buuuuuuuuuuuuuu just running the fridge in single zone at about 25 degrees and that's all, not charging anything else and zero solar I would expect to get about 2, 2 1/2 days from that battery if it's lithium. 1/2 that if it's lead acid or deep cycle. It uses about 300 watts in 24 hours at 70 degrees give or take if that helps with your math at all. If you have good solar all day and again that's all your running is the fridge and nothing else then yes in theory you could run it none stop. Hope that helps.
