Car Battery Protection Voltage Reference

The BougeRV fridge/freezer is equipped with a battery preservation monitor. It has three settings to monitor your battery to prevent a full discharge. The higher level you set, the higher the cut-off voltage will be.

• When you set it to HIGH, the battery monitor will provide maximum protection for the battery running the fridge/freezer against excessive/full discharge.
• When you set it to LOW, the battery monitor will allow the fridge/freezer to use more of the battery energy.

NOTE: Cut-out is the input voltage in which the fridge/freezer will turn off.
Cut-in is the input voltage in which the fridge/freezer will turn on.

• The battery monitor will shut off the fridge/freezer as soon as the supply voltage falls below the set level. The fridge/freezer will restart after 2 minutes once the cut-in voltage is reached.
