ARB 50 qt refrigerator powered from stock 12v cargo?

I've read as much as I can find with a search and also on expeditional portal, but I haven't found a clear confirmation of this, even though I think it is possible. Will the stock 12v outlet in the cargo area power a 50qt ARB refrigerator while driving? I will plug the refrigerator into an alternate source when not driving, so I don't need the ability to run with the ignition off. I'm curious because i'm considering a yeti400 battery pack that will be used until if/when I do the dual battery setup (i just don't want to do it before i understand if i like the refrigerator). Thanks for any insight.

Same compressor as National Luna, same distributor, plenty of good long term reviews on them. All three sizes fit well in the 4runner. I've used it as a beer cooler for gatherings a few times and it will get its road test in November.
