Igloo ICF for rear cargo plug (1 Viewer)

[yosshaa]

Has anyone run one of these Igloo ICF-powered coolers from the rear AC 120v 100-watt plug?

ICF 40 Electric Cooler

Say goodbye to ice…the future of cooling is here! Functioning as a portable refrigerator or freezer, the large 41-quart ICF iceless electric compressor cooler uses electricity instead of ice to cool and gives you full control of the temperature inside the spacious compartment. Set the...

here's a couple notes on it related to power"

• Multiple ways to power ICF: 12/24V DC plugs into a vehicle’s auxiliary power outlet & 100-240V AC plugs into a standard US electrical outlet (both cables included)
• ICF is electricity-powered by an external power source & does not contain an internal battery. For uninterrupted cooling at your desired temperature, make sure to keep ICF plugged into an external power source, including a standard wall outlet, vehicle’s auxiliary outlet or portable battery.
• Built-in 3-stage battery protection system automatically turns the cooler off when low power voltage is detected to avoid draining a vehicle’s battery

Exactly How You Cool Is Up to You​

Plug ICF in at home or in your car (both cables are included!) and then select the temperature you need — anywhere from an extra frosty 0° F to a slightly chilly 68° F. This means you can treat the kids to ice cream or the adults to a perfectly chilled bottle of wine.


I can't tell if it's a direct plug-in; electricity has never been a strength past car stereos. Looks like the cord is 3 prong :/

That's very odd that it doesn't give power requirements, e.g.: wattage or amps, but only AC and DC voltage requirements.
Knowing your voltage doesn't help, one HAS to know at least 2 of the requirements to figure out the third.
I even did a quick search for the fridges power requirements and no luck. You may want to email them about that.
V = voltage
I = Amps
P = Watts

I haven't run that specific fridge, but I can tell you that rear outlet gets tripped quite easily. I've got a Goal Zero battery and Indel B fridge. The rear outlet doesn't have the capacity to reliably power any of them. It might work initially, but eventually the power draw becomes too much - especially in hot summers with the AC running - that a security circuit trips. It resets after turning off/on the ignition.

First thing I looked for on it as well and didn't see it either.

What is this V thing? LOL. I'm old school so for me it is E for Electromotive force therefore P=IxE or PIE for short. Hmmm maybe that is why we learned it that way, so that we could easily remember it. Even more than half a Century later

I have a Dometic CFX28. I ran it on the rear outlet and an Ecoflow River 2 everyday for 2 weeks last summer and for another 2 weeks in the fall. I use a two prong adaptor on the rear outlet and the circut has never tripped. The River 2 powers the fridge between 18 & 24 hours between charges. The River 2 is great, but I use the fridge a lot more than I originally thought and wish I had purchased a larger unit.

It would be better if you were to run it off your 12 VDC cigarette lighter socket. It takes more energy to run off an inverter.
That Igloo comes with a 12 VDC cord.

Here's the screenshot of the power consumption on Igloo website. It's odd how they listed the unit as Ah/h. I honestly have never seen it like that before. Cancelling out the hour (h). This unit run about 0.93 A on 12 V so thats slightly less than 12W of power. Typical 120V out let in the car is about 100-150w so you're good.

Thanks all for the replies, after some internet searching and youtube watching I decided on this unit. supposedly runs ac at 60 watts peak which should be good for the 100 watt rated plug... but then again there might be some ohms type formula I should know.

Generally with refrigerators, there will be a very short and little power spike when they start up but then settle into their rated power usage.
The power spike is only to get the relays, motor and pump all started up.
