G'day Phil,
You do make a good point re start-up current from some 'fridges triggering the low voltage cut-out, and I have no issues with your stance on this, though with respect, I'd suggest the same might apply with any such device...
That said, if the 'fridge in question has it's own LVC, then a direct battery connection probably makes more sense :)
re the Engels, I must confess that I've never taken the time to measure current draw on start-up, but I've always been given to understand that this is not an issue with the swing motor..
In my own case, whenever we're camped for more than a day in the one spot, and the panels are deployed, I do connect the 'fridge(s) the load terminals on the controller (for the afore-mentioned reason), with no known issues..
The beer stays cold, and that's my yardstick ;-)
Catch ya later... Ed C
