[QUOTE="Matt84, post: 442122, member: 14391"] Hi, Thanks for both your replies, Firstly the relay is using the small blue wire off te top of the alternator (integral Regulator) to switch, I was under the impression this was the right one rather than the coil? Secondly - It is supposed to be a proper deep cycle leisure battery therefore I think the latter is my issue. Theres not much on it, a stock stereo, the westy lights (LED bulbs) and a 12V igloo coolbox, (think it's a 5A draw). We drove to the beach from our campsite, (about 3 miles), when I left the bus the fridge was running but after a day on the beach it wasn't. Unsurprising really. I only noticed something was wrong later... I started the engine I expected the fridge to come back on after an hour or so of driving, but it didn't! I then checked the inline fuse and it was almost melted, fuse (30A!) had blown though. I can understand if the alternator can't charge a dead flat battery but surely there's a cut off alternative at 10V for example? Thanks in advance, Matt [/QUOTE]
