5. Battery Protection System
The unit includes a 3-level battery protection system to prevent your vehicle's battery from draining. You can select High (H), Medium (M), or Low (L) protection levels. The refrigerator will automatically cut off power when the input voltage drops below the set level and resume when the voltage rises.
| Voltage | Level | Cut Out (V) | Cut In (V) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 12V DC | High (H) | 11.1V | 12.4V |
| Medium (M) | 10.4V | 11.7V | |
| Low (L) | 9.6V | 10.9V | |
| 24V DC | High (H) | 24.3V | 25.7V |
| Medium (M) | 22.8V | 24.2V | |
| Low (L) | 21.3V | 22.7V |
It is recommended to set the protection level to 'High' when connected to a vehicle battery to prevent excessive discharge. For external power sources like portable power stations, 'Low' or 'Medium' may be suitable depending on the power source's capacity.
