Don, Refrigerator is not hookup. Still have the amp drop. Only thing that might be running is the dash clock, and radio which is turned off.

I have run an aux battery for several years when camping. I decided to convert the system using GOWESTY's aux. battery hookup system and 3 Universal UB12220- 22amp deep cycle wheelchair batteries. I did all the wiring as per instructions. Added the new Truckfridge refrigerator, GOWESTY solar panel etc. all power to the fridge, solar panel setup are not connected yet. The problem that is happening is the batteries are being depleted of power continuously. The first 24 hrs it dropped from 12.9 to 11.9 amps. Something is draining it . I thought I read in the archives about the possibility of one of the batteries being bad. Any thoughts hope to get out of here before haying season starts.😗 >> >> Dennis Jowell >> Scotch Hollow Farm >> Newbury, Vermont >
