Plug-In Coolboxes

Electric cool boxes plug straight into your car cigarette lighter or into the mains. These coolboxes will help to keep your food and drink cooler over a longer period of time than a standard passive cool box.

Can I run my 12V cooler all the time?

By only turning on your 12V cooler when needed, you can maintain a stable temperature without using a large amount of power. This approach is not only more suitable, it will help keep food fresh while reducing wear and tear on the car cooler.

Do I have to put ice in an electric cooler?

Electric coolers or car cool boxes are compared to small battery-powered refrigerators. Cool Boxes have a built-in cooling element to help lower the temperature in their storage compartments. This is different from using traditional ice. You can still use ice, but one of the main features is that it is not vital to keep your food or drinks cool.

Does electric cooler need water?

Yes, it is important to use water in the cooler as you will not see the same amount of cooling if you don't. Whether you use the cool box in your car on the campsite, it will not have the desired effect and will operate more like a fan. We recommend that you always fill the water tank before every use, making sure to watch the waterline. Emptying the water and cleaning after every use can prolong the life of your cool box.
