Could I use it on the top of a boat fridge to keep it cool. The fridge uses a lot of amp hours in hot climates

If your not concerned by looks. You could use 1/2 inch foilboard. Most home centers carry it. One brand is tuff-r insulation board. Comes in 4x8 sheet. Easy to cut with knife. Has R value of 3.3. You could use silcone to fasen it. That would solve your problem.

I originally wanted to use this product on top of the glass areas of my car to prevent the hot sun from heating up my car when it was parked. It worked very well. So it should work for your needs. The material is very thin, so you would need to determine a good method of attaching it to your fridge, eg tape.

There would be a few considerations. You would need a power outlet and at least a few inches of space for ventilation in the back to cool the motor. Also, there are two door hinges on the top in the front that are not flush with the top of the cooler. They are about a half inch thick (black) and space would have to be allowed for them. We love our cooler. Ours stands alone, is not under counter.

This is not a refrigerator is all I can say. They do make 12v refrigerators which are costly but actually use about a third of the power this does. I would not recommend this for your application. Maybe for a vacation cabin for a weekend. Translate: if you never actually have to live with the setup.

Can't answer that one for sure. You may want to check with the manufacturer. It would work when using the cooling unit at 15 amp and under.

Definitely. I'm not positive what the lower limit of the charger is, but I live near Edmonton, Alberta Canada, and I use mine to keep my trolling battery and main battery charged during the year when not in use - and also through the winter. My boat is stored in a non-heated seacontainer in my yard, and temperatures drop to -40 C here (-40 F).

If anything, I would think it would help not hurt. The exhaust outlet is so small that it wouldn't take away from any other outlets you may have. I run a cooler also, and have no issues...?

If it draws 4.5 amps at 12v, yes- it should do fine if the days are long. What I did was to make one out of a heat pump, regular camping cooler and insulation. It only cost about $50, compared to almost $500 for a commercial one.

I've never done that. It's just a regular refrigerator. You'd probably have to watch out for the weather.

This unit is more for casual use of keeping beverages or food cool but not cold.I would not try to use it for medicine.It is not a refrigerator.It is limited to the ambient temp around it and the power supply.It pulls a lot of amps and will drain a battery pretty fast.It works best when the items are already cold.

I use this for a cooler to cool meat. I can keep it at 40* . I guess it would work for that.

Absolutely! Do it all the time and put it in the fridge to cool later. Had mine for over a year and have had no problems.

You sure can. I do it all the time and recommend it if your planning a road trip to cool it the night before. Works great as a spare fridge too of your hosting a party.

It would probably work well for insulation. I would just worry about the weight of the aquarium.

It could work for a boat . But this isn't a marine amp . So you would need to install it in a place that won't get wet at all.

If you're on a boat in hot weather, you have it just right--it will hold it at 60 degrees if the ambient temperature is 90. Putting in a frozen bottle of water is a good idea. That way, it works like any conventional soft sided cooler (not as well as a hard sided one!) but the combination of the ice and the cooling mechanism will help a lot. Can't quantify it for you, though :-)

add refrigerator amps and freezer amps= total amps times voltage=watts so if total watts are less than 3500 you are safe. it is more than I need

I truly believe it would work better in a mini fridge than it does in an ice chest. I would also advice to use the screws to keep it better installed because it tends to get bumped a lot.
