Powering Your Fridge: What You Need to Know

Understanding Your Refrigerator's Power Needs

Most fridges use between 100–300 watts when running. Portable fridges may use less, while household units can draw more during cooling cycles.


Continuous vs. Surge Wattage

Fridges often need extra power to start the compressor. Make sure your unit’s surge rating comfortably exceeds your fridge’s starting watts.


The Importance of a Pure Sine Wave Inverter

A pure sine wave inverter ensures safe, smooth power delivery—essential for protecting sensitive fridge compressors and electronics.


Choosing the Right Power Station for Your Fridge

Power for Your Camping and 4WD Fridge

Compact stations paired with solar keep your Engel or Dometic running for days in the bush.


Reliable Backup for Your Home Refrigerator

Larger models provide backup during outages, keeping your main fridge cold long enough to save groceries and reduce food waste.


Key Features for Optimal Performance

  • High surge capacity for compressor start-up
  • Large watt-hour storage for longer runtimes
  • Multiple charging options: solar, car, and mains
  • Robust build to handle outdoor conditions

Maximise Your Fridge's Runtime

How to Calculate Your Battery's Run Time

Divide your power station’s watt-hours (Wh) by the fridge’s average watts. This gives a good estimate of runtime.


The Efficiency of 12V DC vs. AC Power

Running a fridge on 12V DC is generally more efficient than converting to AC. Use DC where possible to stretch your battery life.


Charging with Solar: The Ultimate Off-Grid Solution

Pair your station with foldable solar panels for near-unlimited runtime, perfect for long trips or off-grid setups.
