    So, let's see, that's 96 amp/hrs a day. The usual conversion unit draws
    about 5 amps and with any kind of insulation shouldn't be on more than
    50%.
    Everyone keeps talking about efficient fridges; it's not really about
    the refridgeration units, it's about the insulation and how air tight
    the box is.
