12v cig lighter socket to the controller load terminal?
Can you wire in a 12v cigarette lighter socket (fused) to the load terminals of a victron charge controller to run a 12v compressor fridge? Will it work or will there be issues?

Just an update because there is very little data out there on using the load terminals and most of it is negative..Everyone says,just hook it to the battery..That's cool but doing that does not give an accurate usage of one single item because everything is connected to the battery plus the option for a low voltage disconnect of that item attached, which the load output gives also..
I have read these 12v compressor refer's draw to much power or when it goes into float it won't work and especially when there is little to know sun out the load won't work especially with a 12v compressor refer..There is really a lack of data on load terminals on solar controllers out there in internet land..
1:30am,pitch black out and the load terminal and 12v compressor refer works just fine without sunshine..
