Hi All,
I have been finding that I was getting minimal running time from my Waeco CF50, before the Waeco's battery protection was cutting in and shutting it off. I am running it off my secondary battery, a new Century Marine Pro 720 100ah, from either the heavy duty socket I had installed in the rear before delivery, or the Waeco Fastcharge wiring & socket unit I also installed.
I have just bought a Powertech MS6170 power monitor to see what is going on, and found the following;
Reading at battery and socket before fridge connected: 12.6v
Reading from socket on load (Waeco connected): Voltage drops to 11.8v 11.6v (Battery reading still 12.6v 12.4v)
Amp draw: 4.5amp
I thought the wiring installed on the first socket looked heavy enough, and I would have thought the Waeco wiring unit would also be sufficent, but apparently not.
Has anyone else had similar issues with the Waeco wiring unit not being sufficent, and any suggestions on overcoming this problem?
Cheers
