ARB Fridge - Connect to 2nd Battery in Dual System?

[johnO]

Hey all - sorry if this has been covered somewhere ... looked around and didn't see this specific answer. I have a dual battery system (OGE) and an ARB Fridge with wiring harness. Going to hard wire to the back wheel well. I know I need to connect direct to the battery ... I'm assuming it should be directly to the deep cycle second battery and not to the starter battery, but wanted to see how others have done it. Thanks!

Yes, you'd connect it to the aux battery.

Definitely connect to the second battery otherwise you are defeating the purpose of said battery.

Thanks Nef and Trail - that's kind of what I figured, but wanted to confirm. Happy Holidays!
