[C320-list] power outage with fridge on question

[Bill Culbertson]

One small help you get for free is that the fridge automatically shuts off below a low-voltage threshold.  Manual says it shuts off below 10.0v and won't come back on until 11.1v  is maintained "throughout the momentary high-current start attempt." (their italics).  Not 50% but some help.

  I was wondering if anyone had a "work around" for the following scenario:

You're plugged in and running your fridge and the power goes out at the Marina. How does one prevent running down the batteries past their safe 50% level?

Is there a type of sensor/switch that says, if I'm not connected to 110 at the charger, turn off the batteries?
