Can a 220V fridge be converted to 220V/12V and is it worth the trouble?

220v fridge/freezers owner told me it is abot R1500.......
Practically? Nah, too inefficient, and if you want it 'on' during transit it will rattle until it breaks .
Electrically? Sure.
Cycle batteries are cheaper than a new 220/12V fridge..

Like you heavy than the fridge but either will do the job IMO.
It holds the drinks and water bottles that won't fit in the pup fridge.
Up fridge as well.

Crystals and/or water, blocking and/or rusting your pipes when not in use .

It does not matter if you run the fridge.
I cannot see the use of running the fridge for 6 months or longer without and asked the question.
For a couple of days.

In a 'camping' fridge, i guess in a way it shows they are capable of running at such low levels (my money similar?
