For the uneducated, what's wrong with it?
Watt and volt are two different measures for electricity. Also your fridge will not work when hooked up to a car battery for many other technical reasons, including differ t voltages, and current types (AC/CD, not the band)
Unless you have an electric car that can do vehicle to load. That means that you can plug in regular household devices like your fridge.
That vehicle isn’t using a traditional 12v car battery for that. Also the point t is you can’t connect a car battery to a fridge and expect it to work.
So. The answer is yes you can. If the car is an EV with V2L. Which I am guessing is what that uncle was talking about in the post.
V2L doesn’t relies on traditional 12v battery…
Correct, but entirely besides the point.
Safety is no 1 priority!
While reading the question I thought: "That's not how Watts work", but then this "answer" hit...
Looking passed the absolutely insane answer here, no one has even brought up the whole issue of AC vs DC. Batteries are DC, while your fridge that plugs into your wall running on AC. I know they make DC ones, but it isn't like they are interchangeable.
There are DC-AC converters you can use (might be called inverters in English idk), which are pretty interesting circuits. They are used all the time, e.g. to use solar energy
