Isn't that like 1250 kWh on an annual basis of idle usage? An efficient fridge should use 150-200 kWh per year, this isn't just idle usage. Even an inefficient fridge would be really high with that kind of idle usage.
No it doesn't. Watts do give a shit what percentage is voltage vs amps. You have to convert between AC and DC as appropriate as well as ensuring the voltage of a 12v battery is stepped if needed, but the watts are the same in any case. (Not figuring for system losses)
You should Google what a step up and step down transformer do. It's very simple and easy to prove you're a dipshit once you understand you're arguing from bad faith trying to compare a simple bit of circuitry design to hydro power.

3 seconds of googling like I said
We are talking about whether it's possible to run a regular fridge on a 12v car battery. Not if it's efficient lol. You have to convert DC to AC because that's part of the problem, so yeah I made that jump all on my own lmao
You're a troll, but there's no rustled jimmies here.... You're too obvious.
No you didn't lol
