Just guessing, SOC = State of Charge?
Andy, re "long-haired pony tailed fridge mechanic", the pony tail was a figment of my imagination (leaves 149,999 of them in your area), my mate says it`s Martin( no pony-tail),0418260548, of "Sammit" (sic), probably Summit whose stickers were on my old fridge power unit, service people at Pittwater you may have used already.
If you go down the 12v road, maybe with some solar which is very cheap on ebay, and quality ok, the genset should get you out of strife if you over draw batteries. Although the IG set up has no dedicated "house",you could alternate batteries overnight. According to the IG Manual, the system automatically parallels the batteries when you hit start.Don`t switch to "Both" early or the good one will drain into the drained one and may lose its ability to start the FL.BruceK
