We are off on a trip next week so I was doing a few inspections etc on the hab side of our Frankia (2009)
I noticed that the wires coming off the Elektroblock on BL4 looked a bit corroded and on one of them, the insulation had blackened a little.
A placed the fridge on 12V and left it running for half an hour or so. The wires were slightly warm to touch.
I unplugged the connector and the connections inside the EBL, that the connector plugs into appeared clean.
Should I look to clean and remake the spade connections on the connector?
I only use 12V when driving, relying on gas for fridge when parked up as our 2x100W solar will only cope with the fridge if in full sun.
The schematic states that BL4 is the starter battery connection - is this correct? does it mean that running the fridge on 12V doesn't use the leisure batteries?
On my display panel, running the fridge indicates a c10 Amp draw that the solar input them tries to make up for (ie solar today indicates 6 Amps input. )
I thought my regulator (Votronic duo) hooked into the EBL only sends 2 Amp or similar to the starter battery
