My guess is there are TWO outlets BEHIND the fridge. One operates on A/C only and the other is tied into the inverter. The fridge is plugged into the WRONG receptacle. Look behind the fridge and plug the reefer into the OTHER plug....Dennis
6 volt batteries, I thought they were all 12 volt batteries. Am I wrong? Never have had a prob with my fridge yet. I best see if I have any resets (gfi or whatever) just in case. I still haven't been able to find my on/off switch for the outside exterior small fridge, lol. So I don't know if it works or not.
Well, you're wrong and you're right. You do need 12vdc with however you might be able to get it, but the preferred and most efficient method is for having two 6v batteries connected in series for a total of 12vdc. For those having more batteries, then these banks of 6v are in turn connected in parallel. This keeps the voltage at 12, but doubles the capacity. True deep cycle or golf cart batteries are also preferred and not the common 12v marine type that you find quite often.
