The fridge has a 5 amp fuse in the electronics to run off of 12vdc. Not only is the electronics and the user panel running off this, but the two fans that cycle on and off as needed, the door seal heater on the left hand flap, the gas valve to allow gas flow, divider heater, and of course there is that defrost function that automatically melts the ice off of those fins in the fridge section. This requires more than 60 watts, which is why the 12vdc section of electronics is protected with a five amp fuse. I would think your issue is the single group 24 battery (85 amphr) battery is less than up to the job...especially when it also has to run the converter to charge the battery as well as the propane leak detecter, antenna preamp, standby power to 12vdc bedroom tv if installed, 12vdc to water heater and furnace electronics, and any light that happens to be used. I ditched the group 24 battery and went to one 12vdc agm group 31 battery as I never boondock.
