Eric,

Sorry, but I'm just now noticing what you typed in your previous message...

In your original post I thought you were saying that the Sanyo only needed
1A at 12V

Sure, your fridge draws 1A at 120v, this is about 10A at 12V, and is
roughly 3 to 4 times, or more, the current draw of the ARB fridge at 12V
(impossible to say for sure, depending on testing conditions, etc.)  All
the same, it appears that the Sanyo is going to run the battery down
significantly faster than the ARB fridge.  In this case, stick with the ARB
for 12V cooling, and longer battery life...

Sorry I didn't catch that before my last post.

Have a nice weekend!
Andrew
