    Maybe to absolutely not.. read the documentation ..

    Jackery 240Wh energy storage.. fridge 130WH to 410WH per day.. And the Jackery has an inverter which is not 100% efficient so deliverable power probably more like 200-220WH..

    A 100AH leisure battery and an inverter delivers twice the usable energy for half the price and several times the weight of that particular Jackery box..

    This would more definitely do it though .. but you would still need not to work the fridge too hard...https://www.hampshiregenerators.co..../jackery-explorer-500-portable-power-station/

    Is his fridge power hungry?
    Would a 12v fridge be better?

    Energy consumption E32 (whatever that means) 400w/24 hours divided by 12v = 33ah of battery juice.
    You can't win - if you want a fridge, they all use a lot of power because they are on 24/7. Some are better than others but I wouldn't fork out £5-6-700 on a 12v one expecting a miracle. Solar helps of course.

    A 12v fridge has similar energy usage, but you dont waste energy in a 240v inverter.

    Quick search .. E32 rating is energy use at 32C.
    E16 ..at 16C

    So in a hot van.. E32. At Dubfreeze on a bad year. leave the fridge door open..
