After 1 week using 100w starter system with 2 deep cell flooded 6 volt batteries (Golf cart) I tested the power with a small plugroup in cooler...... at night. Woke up fridge not running and red solid light on battery indicator. I checked the manual, solid red means over discharge. Nothing in trouble shooting. Yikes!
Been using the system lightly (charging phone laptop) with lots of sun for 3 days. Light still solid red.
I'm off the grid in a small camper. This is my first Solar adventure.
Want to know, how do I correct this?
Thank you for your help!

generally when the batt voltage gets too low the 'load' terminals won't work until the batt is charged again.
'Low voltage cutoff'.

looks like the wander has no load terms and you are running the fridge off the battery, here is the trouble shooting
Battery is low-voltage
"Use a multi-meter to verify the rated battery voltage.
Disconnect any loads connected to the battery to allow it to
charge. "

Hello revytiger,
It does sound like your batteries are getting to low overnight. if you know what the draw is for the fridge we could calculate roughly how many panels you would need and what size battery so your system can run safely through the night. Please call us at 800-330-8678 and we could help size that system for you!

What type of fridge are you using, can you supply the usage (watts and/or amperage). What size are your golf cart batteries in AHs? I have 4 wired in series/parallel and get 460 AH, I also have a residential refridgerator and it runs all night with no problem. But can't really help much until I know the draw yours is making.
