Hello everyone.
Do you guys have any experience with cooler and fridge in term of power consumption?
From what I read online.First they both can operate on 12 V.  For a more specific example. 
FM-45G Whynter 45 Quart Portable Fridge Voltage power AC (115V/ 60Hz – 65W/ 0.75A) or DC (12V/24V – 4.5A /2.5A Car Lighter Socket)
On the other hand,  Coleman 40-Quart Wheeled Cooler 12V plug (5 Amps/60 Watts) with an 8-ft.
Which one requires more power to operation continuously to keep drink cool, 24/7
From what I read online, the fridge seems like require less power because they don't alway run compressor.
On the other hand, the cooler will run the fan always, which end up requiring more Amp hours to run them 24/7. Is that correct?

Assume, You are two 12 V batteries in parallel, which has total 270 amp hours. At the same time, you have a 100 Watt solar panel to charge the batteries. Do you think if can run the cooler 24/7 with the current setup?
Thank you so much for all your inputs
