I looked up the page and it gets worse.
I mean that's the least wrong part imo. I've ran a fridge off of a car battery and if it starts cold you can go a lot longer than that.
Or spend twice that and get a cheap generator that will actually power your frig and other stuff for more than a few hours.
Nah, it's definitely easier during a tornado to go outside, jack up my car, remove the wheel, remove the wheel liner, and then pull the battery from inside the bumper because that's a really convenient place to keep a car battery. Then I just have to lug the battery inside, hook it up, and keep 2 small children and 3 dogs away from it. Much easier than a generator.
Another source says they hold around 700 Wh. So not even 30 minutes actually
If your fridge uses 1.4KW you need a new fridge.
Nah if the fridge starts cold and you aren't constantly opening the door you can easily get 5 hours on a car battery.
