Kelpie 2nd Gear March 18, 2007 Share March 18, 2007 (edited) 1. Just thinking aloud, has anyone installed an aftermarket mini fridge in the car before? 2. Is a seperate battery required to power the fridge? Regards, Edited March 18, 2007 by Kelpie ↡ Advertisement Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Genie47 1st Gear March 18, 2007 Share March 18, 2007 These mini fridges are run by Peltier devices. Now for the overclockers out there who know this technology (and also the biologists), there is a catch. The side that cools will cool but the opposite side got to have a heatsinks to emit the heat. You can plug to the ciggy but it will be a real drain if it is a big Peltier fridge. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Kelpie 2nd Gear March 18, 2007 Author Share March 18, 2007 1. You do have your point indeed . 2. However, it looks more high class than to use foam boxes for a driving holiday. This fridge got no ice or water to mantle with. I'm thinking of how to mount one at the boot. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If I can find something decent I will get it permanetly wired without that ciggy plug. My car have a center access door from the rear cabin to the boot, so it will be good if the fridge can be reached through there. Regards, Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Coolpica 4th Gear March 19, 2007 Share March 19, 2007 Another alternative is the Fridge - to - Go. It doesn't require electricity, u put the bag into your freezer for 10 hours and the coldness can last up to 10 hours depending on the surrounding temperature. I bought one and tested it on a drive to Melaka. My six cans of coffee were still very cold when I reached the destination. www.aceautoacc.com Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
