I'm running my Engel 45 fridge (among a few other things) off of my house battery in my truck. I already have 200W of solar to charge everything (along with the alternator when moving) using a Victron BlueSolar 75/15 MPPT. Currently I have a fuse block wired to my house battery where all of my accessories are tied into it. I do not currently have a low voltage disconnect anywhere in my system.
My question is if there would be a problem in using the load output on the charge controller to run a relay to power my fridge (or a solenoid for the entire fuse block). As I can program the Victron unit's load output to cutoff at a specific voltage, this could operate as a low voltage disconnect right? My goal is to use what I have (if possible) to stop my fridge from unnecessarily draining/damaging my house battery.
