6.TROUBLESHOOTING
● 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 affect 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 off. The likely problem is that the battery and wiring
circuit have sufficient voltage to start but when a load is
applied (thecompressor starting) the voltage will drop
below 9.6 and the fridge turns off. 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.
