Small Refrigerator Blew the Inverter

[Owner]

I think it's a bad inverter. I run an 50+ of different things with my 23 R1T Max without issue. I just keep the total watts below 1,300.
When my lease is up 7/27, I'll get the R2 which has a 20amp outlet. Will also get the V2L adapter.

Hm... I do think I had a bad inverter, but the way it has been setup now using the Jackery, I think the refrigerator itself is subpar. I think for some reason the Jackery is also turning off for a weird reason with the refrigerator at extended periods of time. the vehicle has been keeping the Jackery completely charged to 100%.

I've been camping/boating/off-roading my whole life. There's one thing I'm obsessive about, and that's having everything be able to work from 12v. Inverters are great if you REALLY need it, but for most things, you should just be using buck converters (DC to DC converters) and not an inverter. Your Starlink can be run from a cheap converter sold on Amazon; I do. My fridge and really everything else runs from 12v. This stops the single point of failure, and is more efficient than the inverter>converter>device path you are using here. I regularly spend days off grid with 12v being my only consumption for everything, no inverter.

I'm beginning to completely agree with you on this. I didn't realize how sensitive all these inverters are. I'll report back on my 12v testing.

My starlink worked fine directly from the car through the inverter, but buying a cheap converter may be in my future.
