I wouldn't switch off the low voltage protection. One incident of flattening your LB is enough to ruin it. It's far too easily done.

I know, but it's a option and you'd think 1-2 days ought to be safe. I do have an lb voltmeter too so I can monitor.

Ah but I want the fridge in the boot when travelling and don't fancy complicated hidden cabling. I did though buy and fit a better plug and socket and fitted it in parallel to the existing rear ciggie socket, as the latter made an unreliable and hot connection (=voltage/power wasting) with the cool box. Now need more similar plugs but have forgotten what Halfords) plug type it wasDodgey wrote:Just grab some chunky wire from halfords

or similar (much better value online etc)
and a cig socket

and hook it up to your LB and pass it through the gromet behind the SB. Won't take you half an hour and you have a decent socket for fridge use.
