I thought my post did say parallel .  I run 2 in in parallel for the freezer
as it gives me twick the amp hours at the same voltage.

  Do you mean parallel? Series would increase the voltage to 24v.

  I use an 8D heavy truck battery it will run my small fridge off the
inverter
  for 10 hours. I run 2 in paralell for the freezer if I am deliering meat I
  get a 20 hour run off both the 8Ds in series.

  Sora - You mean to say that a car battery will run the fridge for 4
  hours without going dead? (Without the car running?) That's pretty
  amazing but I, too, figured there must be a nautical appliance that
  was operating on that low of juice, as well. Thanks -Allan in WV
