That's the reason for the longevity of the aux batteries. LEDs don't consume lot of power. If you try to run the fridge for four days without charging the batteries they won't last anywhere near four days, hence the reason for the preference of solar as a backup.

For what it's worth spent 3 and a half days at birdsville in September, only time the car moved was to spend a sun set on big red maybe 1.5 hrs drive time , no dramas at all , put a hot ctn of beer and a slab of bundy cans through the fridge as well

What was the midday temperature in Birdsville when you were there in September? Mild or hot?
