I want to run a mini fridge with my inverter, how much power does the inverter use when the refrigerator is off? I tead somewhere between 40-60 watts. But not sure if this is per hour. Or in a 24 hour period. How many amp hours would idle consumption use in 12 hours?
 
Idle watts at 50w (to pick an average) would mean that after an hours time operating your AIO would consume 50wh. To convert that to the amp-hr from a 24vDC battery simply divide 50wh/24vDC=2.08ah used for every hour of operation. There is some loss beyond the AIO's idle power to also account for. Call it 2.25ah for every hour. Thus 12 hours will burn through 27ah of your batteries capacity.
