    6mm cable not enough for rear 12v sockets

    Bit of a useless post but someone may find this one day on a Google search...lol

    I recently set up the dual battery system with the Piranha management box and all that jazz but ran 6mm cable to the rear with some 12v outlets.

    Everything works fine except for the fridge kept cutting out (on off, on off). Ran earth straight to chassis and tried earth to negative on battery too but still had same issue.

    Ending up being just the cable with voltage drop so keep that in mind when running power. Don't cheap out, get quality 2 B&S RED "SINGLE CORE".

    Thanks to Mudrunner for the advice.
