FAQ – Cool Boxes

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

A compressor cool box works much like a fridge and can keep low temperatures. Thermoelectric models provide moderate cooling and are best suited for short trips.

Can a cool box run on 12V?

Yes, most electric cool boxes are made to plug into a 12V vehicle socket, making them ideal for road journeys 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 usually keep cool for several hours depending on the quality of insulation.
