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 circuit and
power supply and the voltage can drop by as much
as 2V, many things can af fect voltage drop, such as:
increased resistance from long cables, or cables that
are undersized or oversized for the application. Poor
or loose connections can also increase resistance.
For example: The fridge turns on runs for 1 minute
then turns of f. The likely problem is that the battery
and wiring circuit have suf ficient voltage to start but
when a load is applied (thecompressor starting) the
voltage will drop below 9.6 and the fridge turns of f.
This cycle will repeat as the load is removed from
the battery the voltage will begin to show 10.6 which
is enough to start the cycle again. Try to test fridge
with 2 separate batteries before raising a warranty
claim.
NOTE: If the fridge is able to run on the AC/DC
transformer the problem is likely a faulty battery,
wiring or connection.
