Compressor fridges cycle on and off, so use their average draw, often a third to half of the label wattage. Cold weather reduces battery capacity.

How this calculator works

Runtime in hours = capacity in watt-hours x efficiency / device watts. Conversion losses mean you never get the full rated capacity, especially through the AC inverter.
