Thanks to Hurricane Arthur there are a few thousand trees down in my neighbour. Why we were not directly effected some have been without power for a week. This has got me looking for backup power to run the fridge and freezer I have purchased a 1000 watt pure sine wave inverter for $250 that I intend to power from my focus electric's 12 volt battery.
Both the fridge and freezer name plates say 5.0 A 115 VAC (575 watts). I need to confirm actual draw with a co-workers watt meter but I believe I can run one at a time for a day or so with a full battery.
I have read where a Leaf owner did this in the DC area has fall where is what got me interested in the idea. Does anyone have any experience trying something similar?
