How does a powered cooler work?

Dometic powered coolers quickly cool down to refrigeration or freezing while maintaining a consistent temperature, even in extreme heat - no ice needed. As long as a powered cooler is hooked up to a power source, they work just like your home fridge.

Protecting your car battery

Dometic power coolers have battery protection software that actively monitors inbound power usage and will turn the cooler off if it senses low voltage from your car's battery. No need to worry about a dead car battery and bringing your powered cooler on your next road trip.

What is a powered cooler?

Powered coolers are high-tech coolers with a compressor and other mechanical components. These coolers hook up to an energy source 12V DC (Car) or 110V AC (Home) and then use that energy to power those mechanical components and chill its contents.

Powered coolers pack more space

Bring more of what you love on your next adventure. Traditional passive coolers rely on ice to keep your food and beverages cool in a 2:1 ratio, 67% of an ice cooler's storage is space consumed by the ice needed to chill contents. Imagine how many more moments by the campfire you could have with 3 times the amount of food and cold beverages.
