How Long Will My 12V Battery Last With The Everchill RV Refrigerator Before Draining My Battery?

Yes, but it depends on your battery.

In order to determine the amp draw of the Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # 324-000119, you will need to multiply the amp draw of the appliance by ta 24 hour time frame.

The Everchill # 324-000119 has an average amp draw of 2.5 amps per hour, so 2.5 amp hours (appliance) x 24 hours, is 60 amp hours.

The average 12v RV battery is 125 amp hours, meaning that this will last about 2 days before depleting the battery if you had just the refrigerator connected.

Realistically, if you are cooling the refrigerator a couple hours before your trip, you're going to be just fine.
