Hence your fridge will eventually drain your house batteries.

Just be aware
Darn it! I definitely had that wrong. I thought it switched when I plugged in.

My ultimate goal for now is if I am using and for some reason I don’t plug back in, moms needs more important, raining, exhausted, just plain forgot, the worthless wet cell won’t die on me. Hence the lithium upgrade desire. Like last night. I just turned off fridge because I forgot to check and by then it was raining and I was too tired to plug in.
