New to 12v fridges.

[gronk]

I haven't seen any pics of a low battery ??.....12.2V is a bit low for a 4wd that is running, but shouldn't cause a low voltage shutdown of the fridge..

Is the beeping actually a warning for low voltage ??

According to the rep,  yes..

It doesn't matter if they are deep cycle or not. If the batteries are in good condition they should run the fridge for a decent amount of time in any event. Do do all three batteries do the same thing?

What I mean't about the car shutting down was does it have its own low voltage shut off. i.e if you leave your accessories on, like a radio, does it shut down after a period of time? Alot of modern cars have this so you can't run the battery down.

It's a 1991 pajero,  so I don't think so.....

starting to lean towards faulty fridge - now I am a bit concerned as I have only had mine a couple of months now and it would be a pita if it craps itself whilst settled at a camp site with a few coldies on the go, please let us know the out come.... all the batteries you have tried did you clamp directly on them with the lead to socket ? because I have only ran mine as mentioned with 6mm cable from socket to battery and the car has been upgraded with 6mm cable dedicated power from socket straight to battery... you may still have issues with cable size from fridge plug to any of the batteries that you tried

I did try a  few combos of socket straight to battery using heavy duty alligator clips.  Still no good.

How long after you turn the 4wd off does it go into low voltage alarm ??

Sounds like a low voltage setting in the fridge is way out ?

Alarm goes off the first time it tries to run the compressor.  Limit is set at 10.9

looks like you need too take it back - good luck on the replacement

Thanks. I'll report back.

   Is this after you turn the 4wd off ?  what happens if the compressor ( fridge ) is running, then you turn off the 4wd ? if it is 30 secs like you hinted at before somewhere, then the low voltage limit is somehow locked at approx 12.8V or there abouts ??  if thats the case, then faulty fridge, take it back and exchange it..

Thats a real bugger.

Where did you camp on straddie kiwi?

[kiwipride]

Camped at Flinders.  Took that fridge back,  ordered a Evakool, now that one won't cool even on 240v (see Evakool thread)
