Car Refrigerator Operation
Car Battery Protection Voltage Reference
The built-in ECO electronic control module monitors the car battery voltage. Before power consumption affects the car's normal ignition, the car refrigerator will automatically disconnect power to prevent the car battery from draining too low.
Voltage | High Mode | Medium Mode | Low Mode |
---|---|---|---|
12V DC | 11.3V OFF, 12.5V ON | 10.1V OFF, 11.4V ON | 9.6V OFF, 10.9V ON |
24V DC | 24.6V OFF, 26V ON | 22.3V OFF, 23.7V ON | 21.3V OFF, 22.7V ON |
Note: ON or OFF refers to the compressor's state when the car refrigerator is powered on.
