You needed to specify whether the fridge is an RV type, cooling on propane or using 110vac power from the house battery(s) through a converter.

Battery capacity depends on the age, condition, and whether battery(s) have been kept charged, not overcharged, and electrolyte levels above the plates. Batteries may need replacing at around 10 year mark give or take.
