    No it doesn’t. Watts do give a shit what percentage is voltage vs amps. You have to convert between AC and DC as appropriate as well as ensuring the voltage of a 12v battery is stepped if needed, but the watts are the same in any case. (Not figuring for system losses)

      This argument is equivalent to saying you can run a fridge off of gravitational potential. Sure, energy is energy. That doesn’t make it remotely practical for the average person to use that form of stored energy, you absolute wet paper bag of an overly confrontational putz.

        You should Google what a step up and step down transformer do. It’s very simple and easy to prove you’re a dipshit once you understand you’re arguing from bad faith trying to compare a simple bit of circuitry design to hydro power.

              You truly are a dunce, this doesn’t prove your moronic “watts don’t give a shit” comment. Let me explain this to you slowly.

              Great job! Your “3 seconds of googling” solution burns ~20% of the stored energy in your battery in conversion losses. You just went from running an average DC fridge for 3-4 hours to running an average AC fridge for 2.5-3.2 hours. By the time you run to the store to get one of these, get back, get it installed, and cool the fridge down again – the milk has gone bad. Congrats.

              I never said it was impossible do convert DC to AC. You made that jump all on your own, in bad faith, because clearly, once again, you’re an overly confrontational putz.

              Sorry you live such an unfulfilling life that you do this to yourself. It’s been a good laugh for me though. Maybe read a book on the subject. Have a great day :)

                We are talking about whether it’s possible to run a regular fridge on a 12v car battery. Not if it’s efficient lol. You have to convert DC to AC because that’s part of the problem, so yeah I made that jump all on my own lmao

                You’re a troll, but there’s no rustled jimmies here… You’re too obvious.
