1999 Defender 110 Td5 SW Caledonian Blue

Engle MT45F-G3

Borrowed one for a camping trip to Lock Lomond and was wondering does this fridge have a low volt cut out feature? Just don't want to totally drain the two aux batteries. 1999 Defender TD5 110

As far as I know the Engel fridges do not have a built in battery monitor.

Engel do a battery monitor as an accessory. Look here

We have an Engel fridge and a ARB fridge. One of the reason we prefer the ARB is the low battery protection inbuilt. If looking to purchase a 4x4 fridge I would suggest looking at both the ARB and Dometic (formerly badged as Waeco) . Both have inbuilt battery monitor. The Dometic won the best 4x4 fridge in 2015(?) in Australia.
