….and power is back for us. Aren’t we lucky.

Learnings: the new fridge wants to pull so much power when starting its compressor that the inverter shuts down. So the use case that we bought it and some batteries for doesn’t actually work! The previous fridge didn’t do that!

@J12t They make "slow start" (basically big capacitor banks with regulation) that are designed for this kind of major current pull for starter motors and compressors. Potentially viable.
