In all reality, not many can answer you accurately simply because each person/couple will utilize their fridge differently. And, that means the amount of time the fridge is open, vs the amount of time it's closed, which in part, determines its cycling time, along with outside ambient temp, will be different for different users. And, that leads to how long the fridge needs to recoup its coldness to the point it stops cycling.
Sure, we can give you what most or even some of us do but, again, your fridge demands might be and will be different from each of us. I'm in the process of changing out from an RV type fridge to a residential fridge and, am wondering the same thoughts on just what the fridge is gonna need to do it's job efficiently. So far, most of the answers I've received state that, my (4) 6V GC batteries and my 2000 watt inverter/charger will handle the residential fridge. Only time will tell. If I see a problem, I'll handle it with either roof top solar or, add a battery and a separate inverter or ?
