How Much Power Is Required To Run The Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # EV37FR?

Question:

I see it is rated at 12 Amps, Any idea how many amp hours it would use over a 24 hour day in a typical installation?

It is hard to estimate exactly how much the Everchill RV Refrigerator w/ Freezer # EV37FR will run as it will depend on how often and the duration it is opened as well as the environment it is in. I find it best to breakdown how long you can expect it to run based on a battery size. We know the refrigerator uses 12 amps of 12 volt power or 144(12x12) watts of power. A 100 Amp Hour Battery # 34282738 is going to have 1,200 watt hours(100x12) of power. Given this information the one battery will run the refrigerator non stop for 8 hours and 20 minutes(1,200/144).I hope this information will help you determine your power needs.
