Is there a way to hook up a battery charger so inverter doesnt drain battery?

    Ya. I dont have much in there i guess I was just being lazy. Its just a cheap walmart fridge with a 1000 watt inverter., It was cheaper and a better idea to do a fridge and inverter but I understand some companys wont let that happen.

    You can hook jumper cables up to the truck beside you and hope he is on a 34 hour restart! :)


    My fridge would last 2 days no problem. It's an Emerson. You might consider a different one. Then again how many batteries do you have in your bank? 4 or 6? I had 6 batteries. You might have a bad battery in the bank too. Have the shop load test them individually.
