On a full charge, with no other loads. A refrigerator uses 1.0–2.0 kWh a day and draws 100–250 W while the compressor runs; about 85% of the battery reaches the outlet after the inverter's losses. It cycles on and off, so it averages far less than its label. Newer Energy Star models sit at the low end.
Tip: Keep it full and closed during outages; it holds cold for hours.
