battery current saver

Thanks pepper2 however if it did not work for you?, a friend of mine suggested it, seems to indicate that it is used in boating circles. http://www.noelex.com/Sponsor/listings.htm#vgr
Wpould be good to learn more about the unit.

Ah yes. I did another search and found reference on the Nolex Web site.

Interesting indeed. I won't comment for or against the concept as I haven't seen any prior reference to the device, or tried ne myself.

One quote of interest from the advertising though was that almost all 12 volt refrigerators use a Danfloss commpressor and the BCS device was tested on these.

Well, my fridge doesn't use a Danfloss compressor, Duh!:-))

My fridge is also rated at 2.7 amps and does not cycle on and off any more than once every 15-20 minutes and so would have less impact methinks.

Oh and ne = one.

It reduces current consumption by letting the fridge contents warm up overnight. I use a fridge to keep my food at a safe temperature - ALL day.

I rate it similar to HiClone and Electronic Rust Protection.

Philip,

I'm afraid I may have clouded the issue.

Like you I have a Projecta Low Voltage Cutout and they are very good, although I replaced the crappy plug & socket with Merit ones.

But reading up on this Battery Current Saver, it would appear it works on a separate principal by reducing the amount of on/off cycles per hour and therefore purportedly to save current draw as there is less load current being applied.

I'm open minded about the device claims, but as I alluded to above, my Engel doesn't cycle all that often and therefore there would be significantly less "savings" IMHO. I generally only need to run it on setting 1. I do not use mine as a freezer.
