On the way back from Montgomery, we stayed in a couple sub standard campgrounds. The alternative would have been to stay at a WalMart etc and just run the air conditioner fan to circulate the air and provide white noise. We aren't interested in trying to sleep with the generator running. Given the weather, we needed no heat.

So the question is, if we turned off our 12V fridge over night, how long can we expect a strong 12V house battery to run various 'things'. Does the amp hour rating on the battery mean it will run a total of X amps for one hour? For instance, will an 850AH battery, fully charged, run 850amps for 1 hour, 425A for 2 hours, 212A for 4 hours, etc?
