I'll be ordering an Engel MT45 next week for my camper, but I'm a little spooked after reading the (admittedly few) comments about power supplies having trouble.
Edit: After rereading the previous sentence, I realized that it's a bit vague. What I'm referring to is the power supply or circuit board of the fridge. I've seen a few posts about folks having some trouble and having to replace them, and I'd like to do everything possible to prevent it in my new fridge.
My question is this: What device can I use as a surge protector between the fridge and battery to limit voltage on startup? My dual battery setup uses a continuous duty solenoid to isolate the accessory battery when the ignition is off, but I'd like to add a little extra protection during startup.
I realize that I could just unplug the fridge before startup, but I can imagine that it would become cumbersome in short order.
I'm looking specifically for something I can wire inline between the battery and fridge, if possible.
Ideas, advice?
