I have a 2013 331rlt Mountaineer and after the hurricane. ( I cant believe the unit made it through with zero damage) i was forced to use the fridge on propane. OK the question, I want to know how long a single 12 volt house battery that comes with the unit should last. Its 3 years old and i made sure all nonessential 12 volt power was not being used (Lights radio ETC.) when i unhooked from the truck the fridge gave me a low dc fault after about 4 hours on the battery. Is my battery bad or is the 1210 norcold power hungry. Also how many watts does the power converter use when its in full charge mode. I have a generator and need to get a better idea how much to calculate for it. I think the fridge uses 300 watts under 120 volt operation.

Any help would be great. Because were still in the dark here in Naples.

Thanks

John
