When I purchased my GU IV around 6 weeks ago, it came with a dual battery system already installed. I also have recently purchased a Waeco CF50 fridge ..... Its about 8 years old... but in great condition.... Last weekend I went camping and around this time last week I put the fridge in the back of the patrol just to see how it went etc.... The chap that owned the patrol before me also had a 12v outlet installed directly to the Aux battery...
I did a bit of driving for work with the fridge connected in the rear...After a few days I noticed that the error light was flashing once every 4 to 5 seconds.... According to waeco this means that there is not enough power for the fridge and this would disappear after about 1 minute after starting the car....
So on the weekend I was able to get a powered site and the fridge ran off a 240v to 12v Weaco converter with no issues at all...
I hooked the fridge up to the car for the run home an all seems ok. Today I took the Aux battery out and noticed that 3 out of the 6 cells were very very low on Water/acid. Could that be the end of my battery? Also I have charged the battery up after topping up with distilled water. I have the battery on the Gararge floor and the fridge direct connect to the battery... The error light again has come on.... once every 4 to 5 seconds.... Thought guys.... Am I up for a new battery?? Not sure what to do....
