WAECO CF50-warning notice question

Gday,
If thats what it says, it sounds like it.....Ive charged my battery while running the fridge but not a quick charger. Alternator or solar panel.
Be interested to hear.....

Cheers

I've looked in my manual and whilst I can see the same warning I can't find any mention of maximum voltage specs.

I've used mine connected to the battery while I had a jaycar 16A charger connected and had no problems. I have also had the the fridge connected whilst charging with an mppt/solar ( max charger o/p 14.5v ).
If I have a generator then I usually run the fridge of the generator ( 240V ) and leave all of the 12V charger capacity to charge the battery rather than run the fridge.

I can understand why the warning is there but without any firm specs on max voltage for the fridge it's hard to work out the actual limits.

However as the fridge can also run on 24V it may never be a problem with any 12V charger. But this does depend on how the fridge electronics switches betwen 12 and 24V operation.

Unless I can see some technical evidence to the contrary I'll continue to leave my fridge connected to the battery while I'm charging it. I will make sure that the battery allways remains connected so i will never get the situation of the charger being connected to the fridge without the battery also being connected.
Not sure this helps, but!

It doesn't matter about the amps, the device will only draw what it needs The issue is the voltage and that they are concerned about as some quick chargers pummel the battery to quickly charge it. The smart chargers do not. If you were going to try and recover a battery using some of the special modes I would take the fridge off.

Been doing it for the last 6+yrs no problem , use solar thru steca 2020 , use 240 mains thru Ctek 7 and use Yamaha 1000 gen set thru same Ctek , 80lt Waeco hard wired to Aux batt , Ctek is hard wired to same Batt , never a problem.

The CTEK is a regulated voltage charger delivers the same vaoltage a your vehicle does around 14 volts Some charges are not regulated and any push the voltage higher 15-16 volts. leave the CTEK connected won't damage the fridge

Thanks for all the advice.
Thought it best to ask the wider community just in case it was going to be an issue.
I will run it connected as per my intentions.
