    A simple ice solution for a cooler is to freeze water bottles and use them. They tend to last longer and doesn't get everything wet. Then you can use them to drink.

    We do a cross country trip from Las Vegas to the east coast every summer. One of the first things I bought was a refrigerator just like this though a different brand. I stock up with cases of drinks at Costco and fill the fridge as needed. Saves a lot of money!! They sell 12 volt splitters so you can use several car cigarette plugs at the same time. I also bought extended wires as I have a 12v plug in back of my minivan. My back plug is always on. In your truck look in the back or middle compartment for a another plug that is always on eliminating leaving the key in the car issue.

These run at 40 watts max, about 1/4 of what a small laptop uses, so the danger is that the food will spoil, so having a solar battery pack like she has is the best thing to run it on at night especially if you have steaks or hamburger in the refer, although the battery pack she has is very small I would recommend one at least twice that size.

    You NEVER want to run stuff off the car’s cigarette lighter for long periods of time. Car batteries are designed to put out a burst of power for a short time, like starting the engine. RV batteries put out below-max power for long stretches of time. So the car battery is a flasbulb and RV batteries, and Jackery are like a flashlight. Different design for different uses.
    IMHO: Update your Jackery and bring Solar Panels.

    A lot of RVs have a dedicated 12 volt accessory plug that is always hot. Your local handyman/mechanic can add one, pretty cheap. Your sister could do it. All you need is the plug, 14 gauge wire, and a 20 amp inline fuse holder. And a step drill bit to drill a hole to mount the plug. Put it some place, where you can pop off a inside panel or mount in the dash, were you can reach under and reach the back. Connect it to a hot wire and a ground, under the dash, or run the wire to the battery.

      You can still do this with these 12v fridges and that keeps the compressor from running as much making your solar generator last longer per charge. I do that when I know I will want cold drinking water at some point as once they melt they are no longer helping but are just fine for hydrating. I usually put four of the half liter (16.9 oz) ones in there when I leave and once they are melted they are fair game to drink. Also late in the trip if you run out of juice in your generator you can use bag ice to hold longer. They become normal coolers without power though not as insulated as a Yeti in most cases.

      New vehicles do not have that feature. But most mechanics I have talked to say that turning the key forward to run without starting is not an issue anymore as long as you do not run the battery down. Modern cars usually have a timer though and will shut off after a time so do not count on even that. You would have to run the motor all night to keep the socket hot and that would be crazy.

    Get an extra sealed, lead-acid battery 24 amp-hour or larger and hardwire it into your existing car battery and alternator charging circuit. This will provide all the full-time power you need. Just anchor it down somewhere in the vehicle and wire it up with some heavy-duty copper conductor wire.
    This extension battery circuit should have it's its own voltage regulator to avoid over-charging. This would be a simple addition that any automotive electrical tech could do for you.

      I'd go with a Lithium-Iron-Phosphate battery (like battleborn). They are expensive., but you can keep them safely INSIDE your vehicle. Lead-acid needs to be outside because charging puts off Hydrogen. LifePo4 are also a LOT lighter and you can actually use almost 100% of battery (unlike lead-acid where you should only use 50% or risk greatly reducing the number of cycles you will get out of the battery). Also LION are great for Solar. They can take a huge amount of charging current (take power in while the sun is shining). Lead-acid has several different charging cycles which reduce how much charging they will take at later cycles.

    HI there, I also have one of those 12 Volt Fridges. Fortunately the 12 Volt power source in my truck is hot all the time. I don't use the freezer feature. I don't want to have to wait for something to thaw out before I eat. And I don't need to make ice at all. When I travel with the Fridge I place it on the right front seat of my truck. When towing my camper I use a rear-view camera. I also have to have that plugged into a 12 volt source. So I got one of those adapters that has 3 ports available to plug things into. In your case, you could re-wire your cigar plug to a 12 volt power source that is hot all the time. Maybe run a new wire directly from the battery. Just be sure to install a fuse for protection. There is a learning curve on anything new. Once I'm at my camp site, I put the Fridge in the camper and plug it in.

If you need to charge the generator she is absolutely doing it correct. when car is off, solar is the best answer and use the same way becaues the Jackery has PASS THROUGH CHARGING that will go to appliance first and extra will go to battery.

    That is a pretty cool frig you got there. I have the other more expensive one. I use it in freezer mode to keep my water bottles frozen. I rotate the frozen water bottles in my ice chest to keep drinks and veggies cold. When not sleeping I cover the frig and ice chest with all my blankets and sleeping bag for extra insulation. It really helps. Like having 6 inches of extra insulation around your ice chest. Don't cover the vents. I have a spare power supply too (like a jackery) I use when the car isn't moving. You can unplug the frig to use your signal booster, just plug it back in when your done. The ice won't melt that fast with all the blankets and sleeping bags keeping things cold. Another tip is to start out with all your water bottles already frozen to begin with.

    Hi. I have a suggestion or two for you. Instead of putting the straps over the top, run them through the handles so you’ll have access to the inside plus in case you forget to tighten it down it’ll still hold it down and in place. If you have two 12 volt plugs coming from the rover you can use one for the fridge and one for the jackery while driving. I think it would recharge faster without the fridge in it. Then while parked plug the fridge into the jackery. At 33 watts it should last quite a while until it shuts itself off. If you use the jackery first then you could use the vehicle battery for a while prior to picking up and leaving the area. If all you had was bottled water in the fridge you could set it near 65° while you were exploring so you wouldn’t return to hot water when you’d like to have something cool to drink. Hope this helps. Btw, it’s my position that dieting is overrated. 😉 Have fun out there!

    With all the driving you do, you might want to look into an additional voltage generator added into your engine compartment. While driving it would charge everything, but you'll also have to add an additional battery to achieve that.

      @michaelterrell 2 года назад +4

      They haven't used generators in cars since 1963. They use Alternators, with built in rectifiers for higher efficiency and a much lower failure rate. There are also dual battery charging systems which use two high current Schottky Diodes to isolate the batteries from each other. Then the auxiliary battery can be almost completely discharged and the vehicle will still start with no problem. I installed some of these on paddle boats at an amusement park in the early '70s. so the tube based sound system could keep running while the engines weren't.

    I'll have to go check their site. The only thing I'd like to see is a version where the fridge/freezer are reversed. I need very little space in a freezer and much more in the fridge, so this model is backwards for me.
    You're probably better off running it off the portable supply than the cars battery. It would suck to get ready to drive the next day and find you don't have enough juice left to turn the engine over. :-) Yep, plan on bringing the solar panels on the next trip.

    Low voltage sensing is cheap for manufacturers to include as a awesome convenience! I’m interested to see how it works out. You can get a splitter for the 12 volt plug just remember cheaper isn’t better. Last thing is more ice in a cooler leads to longer the ice lasts! Love your videos! Definitely worth the time!

    • @markpashia7067
      @markpashia7067 2 года назад +4

      Careful on the splitters. Those plugs are rated really low (around fifty watts per car plug), so you have to watch the total draw on the system and if you must replace the car battery I highly recommend going with the expensive AGM ones. A little bit more cost but much better power for electronics in these things. Lead/acid cheap car batteries can have problems with the drain and charging these things put on them. I would not replace them if good, but when mine went bad I just made sure to upgrade, not just replace.

    If your car battery drops down to 9.6 volt I can almost guarantee you that your car will not start. if we're going to plug it into your cigarette lighter and leave it on I would leave it on the high setting depending on what kind of battery you have in your car also if you turn your key switch one-click to the accessory position it's not turning on your ignition so you should be fine but remember in the accessory or ignition position your car is also drawing power from your battery I think your best solution would be to set up the solar panels if you're going to stay in any one place for a period of time.

    All very complicated! So let's add one more complication to it. Time for you to get a solar cell(s) to add to the top of your car/roof to turn the sunshine into power. Parked or driving you can/should be charging your Jackery. You can still deploy your portable solar array to add even more power to your battery bank/Jackery.

    • @markpashia7067
      @markpashia7067 2 года назад +1

      Most of these solar generators are very picky about panels and power inputs. My Bluetti is limited to two hundred watts of 12 volt only so regular solar panels are out. I bought the Bluetti portable panels for it at 200 watts to make it simple. Plus I like to park in the shade if there is any so I bought longer cables so I can set panels in full sun while car is in shade. Much better than roof top. Yes, you can buy controllers to reduce the voltage of roof panels to 12 volt but they get way lower ratings when set up that way. Most are max voltage of 12-30 volt with some running 48 volt. One mistake you burn it all up. Not worth it. She has portable panels for her Jackery that came with it and that is what she should use for simplicity. Just car charge when driving and panels when in camp. She can make it work without the insane complications of roof top.
