Hey Guys,
i went camping in the van last weekend and woke up to find out the milk was not very cold.
i found out the fridge was not running the light inside was just not the compressor.
i checked the voltage on the regulator and it was reading 11.4v.
i checked the battery cut off for both the fridge and the setec unit in the van and both cut out at 10.4v
then reconnect around 11.7v.
the fridge did start back up once the solar panel started to charge the battery and get over the cut in limit of 11.7v my question is why did it cut out in the first place as it was still a full 1v above the battery disconnect.
dose anybody have any ideas why??
should or can i wire the fridge straight to the battery to elliminate at least one part of the puzzle??
Thanks
Dave
