Scenario: Power grid failure. To prevent loss of perishable items, you must power the Refrigerator/Freezer/Window Air Conditioner off a Tesla car battery.

Test 1 - Using 2000 Watt Inverter off DC-DC Converter to power full size Refrigerator - Success

Test 2 - Using 2000 Watt Inverter off DC-DC Converter to power full size Refrigerator and Window Air Conditioner - Partial Success

Results: Partial Success

Possible Scenario: This means if gas or propane is difficult to find during an outage, one could go to a nearby Supercharger or charging station, fill it, and bring it home to run for several more weeks (not counting driving losses).

Quick Math: A Tesla Model 3 with a 62kWatt High Voltage Battery Pack can allow up to 2,500 Peak Watts via the DC-DC Converter. However, if too much current is pulled too fast the entire system will shut itself down to protect itself. To prevent that, you must use a resister to slow the charge of the capacitors.

Based on the size, it should have a runtime of more than 1,000 Hours with a 60 Watt load such as a 5 Cu Ft Arctic King freezer. Converting 1,000 Hours into days is approximately 42 days of runtime. Using a Refrigerator at 130 Watts is roughly 475 hours or almost 20 days of runtime. In an early video I showed a Window AC Unit at 475 Watts of power. Adding up all of the above is roughly 665 Watts or almost 4 days of power if running 24 hours nonstop.
