    I hope this is the case other wise it will be going back quick smart.
    definately does not sound right......

    dont want to state the obvious but is the power setting set correctly...
    first thing i would do is run it on 240 volts first , empty it should be at temp in 10 minutes.. when that works set the battery limits(i have mune on low as i run agm deep cycles so happy to go low on them) and get that going..

    hope things work for you

    I have the companion mammoth 47 ltr with metal body and it's great, works well and priced very well too, haven't had any dramas yet although I will be looking for a bigger one for the Simpson trip to hold food. I do have an 80 ltr trailblazer which is the best fridge in my opinion the downside is it won't fit in the patrol with the drawers due to the 3" insulation around it so I will need to sell it and buy a smaller dimension fridge.

    Nar not that silly. Lol

    It's one someone has put in the back before I owned it.
    Pulled it out and looks to only be 2.5mm cable.
    So I guess with the volt drop from that and the power setting being on medium it was under the level to run the compressor.

    But the screen was still lit up.
