Re: Advice needed with power cutting out.

Ryan, you need to take straight from the battery. Then, 4mm Diameter or 4mm² surface area? Copper area only and not insulation included 4mm dia is good for 4 meters from the battery. 4mm² is good for not much Do a test and see what happens.

Re: Advice needed with power cutting out.

Did you put the brad harison plug on the cig wires? If so the cig wires are hopelesly too thin.
Then run wires directly from the battery to the fridge, using the formula i gave you. Ensure you have a fuse as close as possible to the battery.

Re: Advice needed with power cutting out.

How thick are the wires to the fridge? And long are the wires to the fridge.

Rule of thumb, for every meter to the fridge increase the wire thickness by 1mm in diameter.
