:S Only took me a month to realize I had all the information to figure the duty cycle of this refer as I posted this above:
"This EnergyStar Whirpool 21 CuFt Refer has a energy guide of $44/year and 410,000 kWh/year or 1,123 W/day or 94 Amps/day... So out of my 500 AH battery bank I should be able to go two days before getting to 50% and needing to recharge. $44/year is 12 cents a day... It's amazing how energy efficient they have gotten these things."
1,123W/day divided by 100W running equals 11.2 hours/day or a 47% duty cycle.
