Agreed, but even taking the most conservative figures (one amp per hour) the
refrigerator is not going to run for a week, and that's really my point. The
situation will only get worse when everything else is factored in, including
everything you mentioned, but there are other variables such as lights and
stereo, furnace, etc. all of which will make matters worse, not better.
