I've got an old Optima D31 that only holds 12.5V charge sitting in the garage at home.

Over Christmas, I wired up some clips and a cig socket, connected an Engel 60 full of beer/wine onto it and left it running under my back verandah and I got 5 days out of it!

I was surprised how long it lasted, and once it was flat, I just put it back onto the battery charger.

Those portable battery packs do work but they are dear as poison!

I had the same issues with my deep cycle but found out it was an earth problem, maybe check your earth?

Still, the best battery i used with the fridge was the supercharge allrounder, 4 days solid out of that.

About 300 from memory you can get a powerpack that lasts days on end, those supercheap jumper packs are no good for fridges and extended running time.
Get out there!!
