i've just checked mine and its drawing 2.5, is this normal?

Yep

Depends on what the nameplate (watts) the fridge is rated at

If you take the basic cals that

watts divide by volts = amps

volts multiply by amps = watts

Therefor is you take the approx volts at 12.5v and you are pulling 2.5 amps - then the fridge would - should be rated at 31.25 watts

Measure the volts acurately - they you will know if its normal or not

2.5amps is as per Engel spec...

Guys, I think we need to apologise for the thread hi-jack

I think amp draw is "up to" 2.5 amps. It's all dependent on ambient anyway, but ours draws less than 2.5 most of the time, as we have managed over 3 days running on one battery, and still managed to start the car.
