FAQ – Cool Boxes

What is the difference between a cool box and a fridge?

A compressor cool box functions similarly to a fridge and can maintain low temperatures. Thermoelectric models provide moderate cooling and are best for short trips.

Can a cool box run on 12V?

Yes, most electric cool boxes are designed to plug into a 12V vehicle socket, making them ideal for road trips and campervans.

Do cool boxes work off-grid?

Compressor cool boxes work very well off-grid when paired with a leisure battery and solar panel system.

How long can a cool box stay cold?

Electric models stay cold as long as they have power. Passive cool boxes with ice packs typically maintain temperature for several hours depending on insulation quality.
