Portable Fridge Freezers

Q: How long will a fridge freezer run on battery power?

It depends on the model, the ambient temperature, and the setting you choose. The 55L Single Zone Lithium Fridge Freezer runs for up to 26 hours on a single charge, and the 60L Single Zone Lithium Fridge Freezer stretches to around 36 hours. Connecting to solar or a second battery keeps them running well beyond that on extended trips.

Q: What's the difference between single-zone and dual-zone fridge freezers?

A single-zone unit has one compartment that you set to either fridge or freezer temperature. A dual-zone unit, like the 80L Dual Zone Fridge Freezer, has two separate compartments, so you can freeze meat and ice on one side while keeping drinks and dairy cold on the other at the same time. Dual-zone models suit longer trips and bigger groups that need both at once.

Q: What size fridge freezer do I need?

Match the capacity to how many people you're feeding and how long you're away. The 15L model is ideal for a solo traveller or a day trip, 30L to 50L units suit couples and small families, and 55L and larger models carry enough for a full crew on a longer tour. If you want fridge and freezer space at once, size up to a dual-zone unit.

Q: What is a lithium fridge freezer, and can I run one without a vehicle battery?

Lithium models have an integrated, removable battery built in, so they run completely cordless without drawing on your vehicle's starter battery. You can carry the fridge from the car to the campsite or the beach and keep it running, then recharge from 12V, mains, or solar. Fitting an insulated fridge cover helps the unit hold temperature and run more efficiently, which stretches battery life further.

Q: Can an OZtrail fridge freezer be used as a freezer?

Yes. Single-zone units can be set to run as either a fridge or a freezer, reaching temperatures as low as -18°C for frozen food and ice. Dual-zone models go further, running as a fridge and a freezer at the same time with independent control over each side. That's what makes them a true fridge freezer rather than a cooler that only chills.
