It has to be something internal because we have had ours since November and it didn't come with loose batteries to put anywhere.

I have one connected to the battery on a camp trailer the has a propane refrige/freezer. It keeps the battery charged when we are not using the trailer and also is charging while we are using the trailer. This has really helped to keep the fridge from faulting if the battery voltage dropped to much and the electronic ignitor wouldn't work properlly.

I, too, tested the low temperature alert on mine by putting the unit in the freezer. It worked just fine and the WiFi signal was strong enough to get out of the freezer and find its way to my router. I didn't leave the unit in there very long. I think the only way to find out how it will work for long term usage in a freezer is to give it a try. Batteries don't work well at low temps but you can monitor the battery status remotely. Good luck - I hope it works for you.

Sorry this does not have a freezer nor does it run on propane only household current or 12v cigarette lighter plug in. It will get your items really cold, but no freezer. I think there is a Norcold sold on Amazon that runs on propane, 12v and household plug in. I think it cost about $650.00. Just do a search for Norcold refrigerator. Hope this helps.

This unit does not use any batterries at all. Make sure if you want cold air you must put ice in the bottom holder. What I do is freeze water just under the measurement of the opening in the shape of a small block and it last longer than ice cubes. it works great, Verry happy with it.

You have to add the amps each appliance draws (starting amps, not running amps) and make sure it'sbelow the capacity of the unit. I ran 2 chest freezers at once, but never tried to run more at once.If the power fails I'll just run each fridge & freezer for an hour at a time every few hours.

I couldn't agree more with everything said below, 1. POS appliance. I bought two for xmas, one for husband and son, bot OTR truckers, both CONVENIENTLY quit working within 45 days of purchase. 2. they do not have a freezer, and 3. they do not take propane. I agree with NewCareer123 .... try an rv store. Good luck to you.

see my Youtube Review. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MaAeRlvsJG8Its Not a freezer, but a well Insulated Box that holds about 25LB of Ice and keeps it for about a week. We have it Fill Up and then Shut it off for the week, or you can keep it on and have it make ice automatically when low. I do it my way because of Less wear and tear on Machine.

We used ours in a RV and it turned on just like a normal freezer. We bought it because we had limited space space and we needed more. If it had run all the time it would have been a major problem it an RV. You can also contact the manufacturer if you really have to confirm this.

Batteries are great for normal use but I can't answer about using them in a refrigerator????? Sorry I can't be of any help...

I have never used them in a refrigerator. But I do use them in all of my game trail cameras and irs often very cold out at night. They are the best battery I have found and used thus far. By far the longest lasting.

Im in MA. I store my batteries in an unheated garage for several years since ive bought it....no issues thus far. But i agree that they are so small....so if you are worried, just bring them into the house when it gets really cold.

I have had mine for at least a year now and i have never had to put batteries in it. I dont even see a place for batteries. The only opening in this game is the back of the pig where you store the cheeseburgers

yes to both questions. you can use this low price unit to convert a chest type freezer into a very economical fridge. i love it.

The fridge draws about 30 Watts of power when the compressor is running, and when running in freezer mode, it will run the compressor most of the time. That means you'll be drawing 20-30W, or 200-300Wh over the course of 10 hours. For a 12V battery, that translates to 17-25Ah of battery capacity, plus any inefficiencies (some cars will also require you to have the ignition on to use the 12V sockets, which could add to the power draw). Given that most car batteries have capacities around 40-60Ah but only about half the capacity is usable, keeping this fridge running in freezer mode overnight is not advisable. I would recommend getting a second deep cycle marine battery so that you don't run down the car's main battery.
