[QUOTE="Mechanoid, post: 636640, member: 13076"] Hey. Had a quick look at the spec for this and it is 240 Volt only. This would mean that you would have to run it through an inverter. It is rated at 50 Watts. If running off of the mains, that is only 0.2 amps, however, running it through the inverter would put a drain on the battery of about 4.2 amps plus whatever losses occur in the inverter. Could be looking at possibly around 5 amp draw. If you have solar panels to keep up with this it would be fine otherwise you would only get about 8 hours of operational time. And that is using the battery only for the fridge. Ideally it wants to be a 3-way fridge for Camping. Mains, 12V and gas. [/QUOTE]
