CUT IN / CUT OUT
● Your fridge has built in battery protection and needs a minimum 10.9V to start and 9.6V to continue operating.
● During operation a load is placed on the power supply and voltage can drop by as much as 2V, especially if the
wiring in insufficient (less than 6mm direct to battery) or if there is a loose connection somewhere.
● If this occurs when you try and start your ICECO and the power supply drops under 10.9V it will not start.
If this occurs when your ICECO is running and the power supply drops below 9.6V it will stop.
