This week when I get the time ( or remember) I'll dig up my little
dorm refrigerator, and hook it up to an inverter with a 12'v battery
and see how it kicks on. I'll probably have to use the 1500w inverter
seeing I dont' think the 300w will even allow it to start. I'll put
amp draw meters in the 12v. line to see how much it pulls from the
battery including the inverter.

Kinda like to know myself.

Be sure and take notes so you can let us know what happened.

Yes. I'm betting that it will run on your 300 watt inverter just
fine. We have run several different "under the counter" fridges from
inverters with no problem at all.
