The fridge is equipped with three battery protection settings; high, medium and low. The below
settings should be set for the specific battery type being used.
Note: With the compressor running, due to voltage drop, it is likely the voltage used for these
protections is 0.3-0.5 volts below the voltage of the battery, this will depend on the wiring used to
connect the battery to the fridge. On some battery types, voltage may drop when a load is
applied. This can affect the reading and cutout voltage of the fridge.
