Residential Fridge - battery power
We just replaced the Norcold with a residential refrigerator. The question is - if I turn on the inverter will it run the refrigerator without harming the batteries?

I'm just gonna give a couple of tips...
I put six or eight ice cubes in a zip lock bag or plastic container with a good lid...and put it in the freezer as a safety check. If I have a worry, I just look at them or shake them. If they retain their shape, then the freezer has stayed cold. ( If they melted and refroze, you're gonna know something went wrong. If they are floating in water... something IS wrong.)
I have an indoor outdoor thermometer setup. One sensor inside the freezer. One is inside the fridge. The read out is on the kitchen table where I can easily see it. No need to open the door to check how cold it is inside. It's the first thing I look at before I open the fridge or the freezer.
If you buy the right kind, it will even beep a warning when the set temp get's below or above a certain temperature.
