NORCOLD N10DC

[Bill_256RL]

My NORCOLD N10DC will not run on batter. It is a DC fridge. On batter power I have 13.47 volts at the fuse/Converter. When I connect to shore power I have 13.56 volts. Shore power works great. But on battery power the compressor just continues to cycle start but never runs, fridge lights blink.

For some reason the manufacturer linked rear cabin lights on the same circuit.

Any ideas?

Check your batteries to see how they are handling a load. If old batteries, or bad, they will not handle a load being placed on them.

Ditto what David said. The battery may read proper voltage on a voltmeter, but the meter doesn't place any load on the battery. If you try running your fridge on just the battery while taking a volt reading, I'll wager you'll see the difference. Just be aware that low voltage can eventually harm your fridge compressor.

I can run all lights - stereo, pumps, for days on my 2 LifePo4 100 ah (200 total).

Is the fridge factory installed or after market?
Has it ever worked on battery power?
Are the batteries factory or after market?
If after-market, who did the install of the batteries?
If after-market batteries, did the fridge work on batteries before the change to the new batteries?
