Hi BFL13,

Not only can it be done--but once, by accident I ran my fridge on the converter, while doing no battery charging for several days. I was driving fairly long distances, and somehow I managed to flip the battery disconnect to off.

The fridge worked well on 12 volts @ 13.6 which was the default setting in my "pre wizard" days. It does draw just about the same amps on 120 volt and 12 volt--but the extra voltage seemed to help.
