| You can buy an inline cut out that turns the fridge off when the battery voltage drops beyond a certain level. The good thing is your car will start, the bad is your beer may get warm. |

It's one of the best additions I've made, no more having to prop the door open or th door swinging back onto me.

I have one of these, quite expensive but runs off a small cartridge and cooks excellent Sirloin steaks.
I shopped about and got mine a bit cheaper.

I've just read the reviews and it seems there is some important technical information missing.
Does it have a circuit to stop it from draining the battery? |

I'm no expert but it maybe a "sticky" solenoid and the extra battery is giving enough power to get it going.
I too would recommend going to a specialist vehicle electrician. |

Stick a P.A.Y.G. SIM card in, add £10 credit and it will last ages.
The only charge is the cost of a text when you ring it and it's send the text with Google Maps link back to you.

I use a couple of these, they are widely available on Amazon and EBay and work a treat as another security layer.
I have one permanently wired and another running off its own and an external battery. |

I've got an O2 in one and Orange in the other, both P.a.y.g. Two networks to give me more coverage options.
I check them about once a week, only costs the price of a text message |
