Common Questions on Using a Car Refrigerator
1. Ensure the fridge is in a well-ventilated area, away from heat sources or open flames.
2. Keep the fridge and power cord dry—avoid moisture and rain. Never submerge in water.
3. Do not use the fridge to hold liquids directly.
4. Clean and defrost the fridge regularly.
5. Use only the original or manufacturer-recommended power cord.
6. If using the fridge at home, use the approved power converter.
7. If storing special temperature-sensitive items, make sure the fridge meets their storage needs.
1. Use a soft cloth and mild detergent, water, or a fridge-safe cleaner.
2. Do not use sharp tools or abrasive materials on the interior.
3. Avoid corrosive or hard-to-evaporate liquids.
4. Never clean the fridge under running water or submerge it in a sink.
1. Car refrigerators are compatible with most vehicles.
2. Just select a model suitable for your car.
3. They support both 12V and 24V power systems.
1. Smaller units can be placed between the front passenger and rear seats.
2. Larger models are best suited for the trunk. However, for sedans, avoid placing it in the trunk unless ventilation is adequate.
1. If your trunk has a built-in cigarette lighter socket, you can plug in directly.
2. If not, use an extension cord routed under the seats to connect to a cabin socket.
3. Use a short, thick power cable—never below the recommended gauge.
Yes! Just use the original manufacturer’s or manufacturer-recommended power converter to operate it at home, in hotels, or at campsites.
It depends on:
1. How full the fridge is (more items = longer insulation).The ambient temperature (cooler air helps retain cold).
2. How often and how long you open the lid (keep it closed to conserve cold).
Yes. If the socket remains powered after shutting off the engine, the fridge can drain your car battery.
BODEGA compressor fridge has a battery protection feature—it will auto-shutoff if the battery voltage drops too low.
This depends on your vehicle.
1. In most Japanese cars, power to the socket is cut when the key is removed—so the fridge stops.
2. In many European and American models, the power may stay on (like with the radio or cigarette lighter), allowing the fridge to keep running.Check your vehicle's specs to be sure.
It depends on several factors:
1. Ambient temperature (hotter = shorter run time).
2. Amount and type of items inside.
3. Frequency of door openings.
4. Battery size and current charge level.
5. Fridge temperature setting (lower = more power used).
6. Battery protection level (higher protection = shorter usage).
Estimated run time:
1. Minimum: 40% of battery capacity ÷ average discharge current (with “HI” setting at 11.8V).
2. Maximum: 70% of battery capacity ÷ average discharge current (with “Lo” setting at 10.1V).

Common causes:
1. High humidity or moisture-rich items inside.
2. Frequent opening of the fridge.
3. The door wasn’t closed properly or the seal is worn.

How to Defrost Your Car Fridge?
1. Turn off the fridge and open the lid.
2. Remove all items (store elsewhere if needed).
3. Let the frost melt naturally, then wipe it dry with a cloth.
Important: Do not scrape the frost with sharp tools or use heat sources like a blow dryer—this can damage the fridge.
Although car fridges and household fridges operate on similar principles, there are key differences that affect cost and performance:
1. Cooling System Design:Home fridges have large condensers integrated into the body and rely on natural heat dissipation without fans. In contrast, car fridges are space-limited and require built-in fans to cool the condenser, which increases design complexity and cost.
2. Compressor Type:Household fridges use AC compressors, which are not designed to operate under vibration or at an angle. Car fridges use DC compressors, which are more energy-efficient, environmentally friendly, and capable of working reliably even when tilted up to 30° or subjected to bumps and vibrations—demanding a higher level of engineering and durability.
3. Additional Features for Portability and Safety:Car fridges are built for mobile use and often include extra features such as shoulder straps, handles, slide rails, and mounting options for easy transport and secure placement. They also offer:
3.1. Low-voltage protection (ABS) to prevent battery drain.
3.2 Smart fault detection with indicator lights and LED error codes for easy troubleshooting.
3.3 Durable housing made from high-quality engineering plastics, allowing use in extreme conditions (from -10°C to 55°C with up to 90% humidity)—far beyond what a typical home fridge can handle.
These technical demands and added functionalities make car compressor fridges more expensive but also more versatile and reliable for on-the-go use.
