    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    I can see the connections on one, but the box is snapped shut on the other. I'll see if I can get in there tomorrow take pictures. Thank you. Mimi

    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    Ok, Greek language aside😊 I know one battery isn't getting charged. The original battery is also not getting charged all the way. Plugged in, I get 14.6. In solar, 13.4 at high noon. It seems like I should figure out a way to plug the fridge directly into the inverter, yes?

    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    I'll let Southwest RV look into that. They just added the second battery 6 months ago and I'm pretty sure it's not getting charged.

    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    The manual says that turning on the emergency override will turn the whole fridge into a freezer. Is that true?

    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    It doesn't have a setting for lithium. I'll check how they set it tomorrow. I also think only one battery is being charged. Battle born sent me to Southwest RV in Phx to have a second battery installed. They did something wrong too because I used one battery down to 10% and then the whole...

    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    I I wish I could, but I can't access the 12v sockets on my 2000w inverter charger because if how they mounted it.

    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    Itxs a It's a Dometic CFX-65DZ. If I could, I'd undo what the installer did, but arthritis makes that really tough.

    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    The fridge is plugged into a 12v outlet they put on the wall. They mounted the inverter vertically near the floor, so I can't get access to the 12v sockets. The volts on my display shows how much charge I'm getting from my panels. Out here in Quartzsite, 13.4 is the most I've gotten. If I...

    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    I'm sorry. It's a compressor fridge I bought for my Ford Transit medium roof van. It's large, like 56 qt. That's the only load on my system except for occasional use of my Instant Pot. If the volt readout is less than 13.4, when the fridge goes on, when the volts drop to 12.2, the fridge goes...

    Dometic only runs off solar not Battle borns?

    I'm not totally up to speed about solar, but I've learned a lot since hitting the road 3 years ago. Still, I find some things confusing. I have 320w of solar in the roof, a 2000w Victron inverter charger, a 50 amp mppt Victron charge controller (planning to add solar) and 2 100ah Battle born...

    2Kw Inverter shuts down after 2 mins plugged in (1 lithium battery)

    Thanks for your help.  I don't think I can post a link because I'm new, but I'll try...  www.xantrexDOTcom/power-products/inverter-chargers/freedom-xc.aspx This is the first time I've tried the inverter since I had the system installed.  I don't know if it's installed correctly, but the solar...

    2Kw Inverter shuts down after 2 mins plugged in (1 lithium battery)

    Thanks.  I'll check out the video.   My victron app shows my Battleborn is charged 100%. I'm plugged into shore power. The Victron app shows 13.8 volts with 2 12v fans and a dometic fridge running.   I don't have a coulombmeter. Don't know what that is!   I should probably go through the...

    2Kw Inverter shuts down after 2 mins plugged in (1 lithium battery)

    Thanks for helping me out   I did read that, in order to fully utilize the 2000w xantrex, I should have 2 lithium batteries.  My Victron energy monitor shows my battery discharged 118 ah over 4 minutes of using my 700w microwave.  What I don't get is, why doesn't it use shore power instead of...

    2Kw Inverter shuts down after 2 mins plugged in (1 lithium battery)

    Hi electrical pros... I have 2, 160w roof panels, a 2K w Xantrex mppt solar charger, 1-Battleborn 100 amp hr lithium battery. While plugged into 30 amp, the Xantrex runs for 1.5-2 mins using a 700W microwave, then shuts off. Restarting the microwave repeats the same behavior until the Xantrex...
