I have a Waeco CF50 so I guess it would run the same compressor .. Max Amps 3.8 - mine at the moment runs for 10 minutes at that then stops for about 40-45 minutes before cycling again .. But its only 12 C outside - When in the warmer zones it cycles for about 20-30 minutes on and off ..
Mine runs off a 100 aH AGM and a flat mounted 140 watt Solar panel - Beer always cold !! and we don't freeze anything ....
Cheers
Steve

I have had mine running on a standard 140 amp/hr starting battery overnight on a number of times.  Always been a battery to start the car next morning.  Set the switch to medium battery drain and the fridge will switch off to protect your starting ability in the morning.

Been very happy with my unit over many years....

I have mine for 2 and a half years now, it runs constantly on a 120amp hour battery... I have my fridge voltage cut out set to LOW. With teh dividers in running the freezer, the fridge will run for 3 full nights and 2 days, including running our lighting off the same battery!

Pretty good in my book!
