Can I plug in a thermo electric cooler, a cell phone and a gps device?

Most likely. Depends on how much current these devices draw, but I'm guessing all those added up are well below 10A.

I don't know the power consumption of the thermo electric cooler, but the other two should not melt the cord and burn the device. If you are driving at summer with 100F and you feels this item is burning hot-----of course, unplug it.

The main reason I bought it was to plug in my 80 year old mom's heating pad. I was afraid there might be a problem, so originally I only let her do it at highway speeds. Since then we have used it on the low power setting while idling and found no issue. We have also used it while plugging in my GPS and or phone. I have had no issues at all.

That's the whole reason for buying a wifi thermostat so you can operate it from anywhere from your cell phone. It works great. Dee

Yes, if by that you mean you can use it to connect to your phones' hot spot. It is only a receiver tho so you wouldn't be able to use it to turn your pc into a hot spot.

No. You can purchase an adapter cord that allows you to plug it into a regular outlet. We just take the the cooler into the hotel or whatever, and plug it into the wall. We used that method on a2 week cross country trip and never lost a single food item. It is a truly wonderful piece of equipment for traveling.

There's an adapter sold separately that you can plug the AC charger into, and then plug it into the wall or power strip. This cooler was so cold, some items were almost frozen.

Yes. I've always used mine for the cooler (truck driver) but it does plug in the other way for heat. The plug is color coded blue/red for cold and hot.

I just bought mine and I had to purchase the ac adapter separate. I bought this ac adapter - Coleman Thermoelectric Cooler 120-Volt Adapter

I don't think so. This is more for devices that require less power, like a camera or a GPS.

We had to buy an AC to DC adapter. We use it to pre-chill the cooler and to keep things cold when we're in a motel or visiting family. It works beautifully for us.

the output of the cellet is only 1 amp. if your cooler requires more than 1 amp. to cool, it probably would not be satisfactory.

No. My unit came with a plug that could be switched from being hot to being cold. One just plugged the cable from the auto accessory plug-in to plug end from the cooler itself. To change the temperature just reverse connection. However, I did not receive any cables for 110 volts with my unit which is several years old.

Hi, I believe you'll need to figure out what the amperage is of the power supplies that what you want to run and if anything else is running on the same circuit. I read in the reviews and elsewhere that you should use this accessory with a 15A or less fuse, so I have it on a circuit with 15A in my travel trailer. My laptop 12v power supply uses 3.5A, the Coleman 12v cooler uses 5A, the phone charger uses 1.5A I think. I have run the cooler and a charger at the same time without it melting or blowing a fuse. I did fry the last dual power outlet (different make, felt cheaper) with the same usage (Caveat: I am not an electrician and am just sharing my experience.)

The title of the page states Coleman 40 Qt PowerChill Thermoelectric Cooler but the product description states it is a hard cover for a cell phone. Which item will I receive if I purchase????

I don't think you can, as the water it uses is housed in the reservoir built on the device. That function also requires AC power.

It would work with the proper adaptor. If your adaptor accepts 220V and has the same output as the cooler needs, it would work.

This cooler is intense for mobile use and runs on 12v direct current with a "cigarette lighter" plug that you find in autos, RV's, and boats. If you want to "pre-chill" or keep thing cool when out of the auto and only have access to 120 volt AC current in a house or motel, you will need and AC to DC converter.
