I have a Rm36E 3way fridge.
Looking at the tag, which is hard to read now, it looks like it's 1.1 amps at 120vAC or 3 amps at 12vDC. Am I reading that correctly?
If so that would be 121 watts on AC or 36 watts on DC, right?
I tried running it on AC through my inverter and it sucked my batteries dry overnight.
Obviously it will use more than the rated on AC as there are inverter losses to consider.
I have 400Ahr of batteries in my main bank so I assumed it would be enough to run it on AC through the inverter, but am obviously wrong, so what am I missing.
Do not suggest I buy a different refrigerator, this is the one I have that I'm working with so it's irrelevant how much better a different one might be
