How many Ah
I need a battery bank to power a mini fridge 1.3 amps @ 120v for 48 hours and a electric blanket 200 watts @120v 8 hours as well as computer and cell phone charging, how many Ah will I need?

Ok so I changed direction, I bought a ARB 50 quart fridge freezer, it draws .87amps @ 12v and should be adequate for the amount of food I need for two to three days.

AFAIK, that ARB has a 12V compressor motor of the Danfoss design(Now owned by SECO). It is a fine fridge.
I have a similar 50 quart ICECO JP50 with the SECO compressor. The running Amps on that compressor are from 5 to 4 Amps according to the specs and my clamp on meter.
The .87A must be an average draw at a particular ambient temperature. You can also confirm this by running the ARB on 120VAC through a Kill-A-Watt.
Yes I think that is average over 24 hours. I will check over a 24 hour period when I get it and see how close it is.
