  • POWER DRAIN FROM 12V FRIDGE ON STARTING

    I am after some advice from you electrical jets regarding starting the car while the waeco is running. The car has a battery isolator that the power to the van is wired from etc. I have just bought a waeco fridge and instantly had trouble with the battery going flat. The battery was checked and found to be "No good" ( or words of the same meaning) and was replaced under warranty. I am wondering if I wire the fridge up to the isolator would there be too much drain on the car when I start it with the fridge on that could/would cause problems to the battery. Maybe the other battery was crook but I cant see me getting away with it a second time and I dont want to be away and find the battery flat from putting to much demand on it. Would it be better to start the car then plug the fridge in.. which would be a nuisance .... any opinions greatly received.

    Is the fridge wired to get continuous power from the starting battery or only when the key is in ACC position? If the fridge is only getting power when the motor is running then there shouldn't be a problem.

      If I wire it to the positive of the isolator it will only run when the engine is running.. I am trying to avoid a flat battery and more importantly that "what have you done" question !!!

          I have been running my Waeco on the starting battery since we brought the car without any problems.
          I usually change it over to the trailer battery at night (have forgotten once and the car started without any problems ops: )

            Clifton..sorry for the delay the car and I have been seperated for the last few days.. I am not sure of the brand of the isolator as it was in the car when I bought it. I have climbed all over it and cannot see a brand on it. If it helps by the markings on it it has a 200 amp rating. The plug for the fridge is a waeco brand that came as part of a package deal. It has the option of selecting running the fridge direct from the battery or powering the fridge when the engine is running ( which was selected). This is done by a push button selector where the plug goes in.. apparently you can use it to charge the battery pack for the fridge as well..hope this helps at least one of us !! cheers
