Portable Camping Fridges FAQs:
-
1. What size battery should I have to power a portable fridge?
First, you will need to determine how much power your portable fridge will consume on average per hour under certain ambient conditions; please see the Product Specification Tab of the product where we provide this information. Additionally, you will need to know the size of your battery in Amp-hours.
When you have these numbers, you can calculate the approximate run time in hours by dividing the size of the battery by that average consumption figure.
Some examples:
If it is stated consumption is 1 Amp per hour average, multiple that by 24 hours (equals 24 Amp hours per day).
You should understand that you never get the full amount of Amp-hours from a battery. As a good rule of thumb, you should use 80% for a Lithium Battery and 50% of an AGM/GEL (lead acid) battery.
So, for a 100 Amp hours deep cycle lithium battery, we can assume 80 Amp-hours of usable power.
If we are looking at a refrigerator that has an average consumption of 1 Amp per hour, and it is the only appliance running from a 100 Amp-hour battery. You should be able to run the refrigerator for around 80 hours before recharging is needed.

2. How much solar do I need to power my portable fridge?
The panel should be of a suitable size to meet requirements of the refrigerator and any other appliance running from the battery. It's best to use the solar panel to charge a battery, as opposed to running the fridge directly from the solar panel as voltage will drop if clouds come overhead for instance. The battery means your refrigerator keeps running even if the voltage output of the solar panel drops severely due to cloud cover.
A good rule of thumb to prevent inadequacies with power supply is to have a solar panel large enough to provide enough daily power to run your refrigerator and have battery storage of an extra 2/3 on hand. So, if your refrigerator (or any other appliance) will consume 30 Amp-hours per day, you should have battery storage of 90 Amp-hours capacity and a solar panel of around 80W or greater capacity to ensure you will not have problems.
It is advised to go a little higher in specification than your needs. However, a popular solar panel size to charge your batteries to run camping fridges is around 120W - 160W.

3. I am considering buying a solar blanket for my camping trips - can I run my camping fridge directly from the solar blanket?
Great question! However, unfortunately no, you will not be able to run your camping fridge directly with a solar blanket.
A battery will be required to be used to provide a continuous power supply for the fridge. You will need to plug the portable fridge/freezer into the battery and plug the battery into the solar panel/blanket.
The solar panel/blanket on its own is unable to provide stable and constant power to your portable fridge/freezer, which is required to maintain your pre-set temperature.
-
4. How much ventilation do I need surrounding the fridge when it is operating?
To ensure that your portable fridge/freezer are not overheating which will result in a high power consumption that leads to poor performance and efficiency, it is important to make sure that the fridge/freezer is getting the right amount of ventilation.
We would always recommend at least a 100mm buffering perimeter around the fridge when it is being stored in an enclosure. However, many manufacturers will generally advise a 200mm buffering gap around the fridge vent for the best possible performance.
Additionally, we highly recommend regularly cleaning the air inlet and outlet vent of the fridge/freezer. This will prevent dust from creating a blockage.

5. Can I take off the lid on the CFX3 fridges?
-
6. How is the evaporator different in the CFX3's compared to other portable fridge/freezers?
The evaporator plates in the CFX3's are installed around the entirety of the fridge for an even cooling distribution and temperature throughout the fridge/freezer.

7. What is the best sized fridge for camping?
30-50L for two campers, 75L DZ for families
