if you don't load test them you'll never know.

12.5 vdc is 90% charged (assumed single battery), you could achieve full voltage and not have amperage enough to start that fridge.

minimally i'd put an ammeter on the batteries and see how many amps are betting drawn by that fridge at start up.

but again you need to LOAD TEST those batteries to truly determine if they can sustain the amp drawl.
