Can anybody tell me how much current or power the DC-DC converter puts out? I'm guessing it's been discussed here before but it's difficult to search for that topic.
I'm a lazy car camper. I like to have my Engel fridge. Previously I used my VW Touareg (and solar panels) to keep a LiFePo battery topped up; the fridge ran from the battery and I could turn the car on and recharge if I needed (via an inverter and AC charger). The fridge is very efficient and only uses a few amps (it peaks at around 4 amps when the compressor starts but on average uses less than a half). I'm wondering if I can connect the fridge to the Leaf 12-volt battery/converter instead. Seems like leaving the Leaf in "ready mode" overnight shouldn't drain it too much, and it's not like I'm camping 100 miles from a charger anyway.
(Unrelated: parked my Leaf at 8 miles range last night. Range anxiety is finally a thing of the past!)
