I would check your actual connection for problems. Make sure the red light on the side is staying on constantly. If it turns off during cooking, then you might have a problem. There could be a short in the 10v or in the actual cord for the stove itself. That has not been what I have seen with these portable stoves. Also make sure the thing is clasped close as well while cooking to keep the heat in.

I took an 18 volt drill battery charger and converted it with 12 volt adapter plug. Have been running this roadpro on 18 volt drill battery for 3 years now. No issues and it actually cooks like you would expect. No blown fuses. Just let battery run out to keep warm or change to new battery every 20 mins. No need to hook anything to your vehicle.

@truckonomics90312 жыл бұрын
Any electronic device plugged in can drain a car battery given enough time. Ever seen someone leave their headlights on and them come back to a dead battery? These stoves pull some power. The simple fix to this is to leave the vehicle running while it is on. The alternator will keep the power going and your battery will be fine.
