small boat refrigeration- or lack of
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. |

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. |
