http://www.batterybuddy.com/pages/846877/index.htm This is the device you are looking for. You will probably find that since that fridge is a heavy draw, (~7-8 amps) that this device will trip fairly quickly. At best, you may get 3 hours and then you will need to drive at least that long to get the state of charge back.

Really I just want to cut out the circut my electric (wolfburg weekender fridge, not full westy fridge) fridge is on. The battery uses the factory relay for chraging but I've added a separate fuse block and wired up all my "house" equipment to it. There are about 6 fuses between stereo, amplifiers, lights, fridge (factory 12v socket under passnegers seat) etc... Anyway I want to be able to leave my fridge plugged in and just let it draw the battery down and the automatically cut out before harming the battery... Leaving it plug in that way in the past killed my last optima by over discharging it too many times. Just looking for the most simple solution... Thanks, Jon
