I haven't had any experience running a residential refrigerator using an inverter and batteries. I would expect after 12 hours the refrigerator would significantly deplete the batteries.

We shut down the main inverter at bed time, around 10 PM and leave the inverter that's dedicated to the fridge on. If the bank reads 12.7 at 10 PM it will usually read 12.5 to 12.6 at 7-8 AM when I get up. Not much loss as the fridge is very efficient and only takes 1.25 amps of a/c to run it.
