Morning all... I'm running a 45L Engel from a 3rd battery mounted in the back of my LC200. I have a solar panel on the roof proviving adequate through the day to keep the battery charged, plus have a DC/DC charger charging it while we drive via an anderson plug also in the back - covered by a Redarc disconnect. At the same time I have the Engel plugged into the 240V socket in the back so in my mind the fridge should run all the time and auto switch from 240V to 12V as required. My issue is that after sundown, the battery will only keep voltage for about 1 1/2 hours - the meter shows 10V then so I'm guessing the battery is on its way out. My question is could the power be leaking away anywhere else in the vehicle? Better still can anyone see any holes in what I'm doing?

Cheers
