Anyone know if this would power a 7 cu ft chest freezer? The side of the freezer says max power rating of 5 amps but I dont know if that means surge or not.

To anyone who has this model: Does the power switch control the USB port or is the USB port always powered? I really would buy this if the inverter could be controlled independently from the USB.
