Portable Refrigerator

A 12V compressor fridge is designed to keep food and beverages cold in cars, trucks, RVs, boats, or anywhere you would use a regular cooler. Our fridges are both durable and efficient. They can be powered by 12V, 24V, solar, or 110-250V AC power - perfect for life off-grid or camping. 

12-volt refrigerators use refrigerants to absorb heat from the food. Then, the electric coolers use a compressor to extract heat from the food and to circulate the fresh refrigerants that keep the food and drinks cold.

A 12V dual-temperature zone refrigerator can do everything a typical refrigerator can do - with the added bonus of being smaller, durable, and portable. 12V refrigerators can be powered by your car, electrical outlet, or a combination of solar panels and power stations. We have built-in shock resistance, plug-and-play capability, fast cooling, and some models have wheels.  

BougeRV's 12V refrigerator keeps your ice cream from melting, your meat from spoiling, and keeps your drinks icy cold. It is convenient, reliable, efficient, and can be powered by solar. 

While we understand that the price may cause hesitation, once you start using a cooler fridge, you’ll wonder why you waited so long! Ultimately, the decision is up to you and will depend on how often you socialize outdoors, camp, host parties, buy groceries, and spend time on the road. BougeRV offers a full range of 12V fridges and free pre-sale consultation, so you can pick the best 12 volt fridge for your needs.

Absolutely! When you're looking to build your van, a van refrigerator should be your first target. Think about drinking a cold soft drink and eating fresh food on a great road trip with the convenience of a cool fridge. Every van needs matched equipment, so you can explore the world in both comfort and style with a 12v motorhome fridge.

There's nothing like having a 12-volt refrigerator for your truck that truly brings the comforts of home while you are on the go. As a truck driver, it is critical to get hauled goods to your destination on time. You never know what hazards lay on the road ahead of you. The best thing to do is be prepared and bring a portable refrigerator cooler with you in case you get stuck in the wild.

If you're camping in a tent or have a camper without a refrigerator, a portable camping refrigerator is a great solution to keep food cold. A mini refrigerator for camper can keep your perishable food safe and fresh, ensuring your family barbecue goes well. These cooler refrigerators are made for camping and outdoors and not being beaten by a rugged environment found in a motor vehicle.

A typical 12V compressor fridge running on a 100Ah LiFePO4 battery can usually last 20–50 hours. The exact runtime depends on several factors: the fridge’s average power consumption (typically 35–55W), ambient temperature (hotter conditions increase power draw), temperature settings (fridge mode uses less energy, freezer mode can double consumption), and how often the door is opened (frequent opening makes the compressor run more).

In cooler weather with fridge mode and minimal door openings, runtime can reach 40–50 hours, while in hot conditions or freezer mode, it may drop to around 20 hours. Overall, a 100Ah battery typically supports 1–2+ days of reliable operation for most 12V compressor fridges.

Yes, you can run a BougeRV portable fridge in your car. It can be powered directly from the car’s 12V accessory port or connected to the battery.

While driving, the alternator keeps your battery charged, allowing continuous operation. When parked, the fridge will draw power from the car battery, so the runtime is limited. To maximise efficiency, keep it in fridge mode, minimise opening the lid.

And we recommend running a large portable fridge via a power station or solar generator to prevent draining the battery.

A typical 12V compressor fridge running on a 100Ah lithium (LiFePO4) battery can usually last 20–50 hours, depending on conditions. Runtime varies with:

• Fridge power consumption: Most 12V fridges draw 35–55W on average.
• Temperature setting: Fridge mode consumes less power than freezer mode, which can double energy use.
• Ambient temperature: Hotter surroundings make the compressor work harder, reducing runtime.
• Door openings: Frequent opening forces the fridge to cycle more often, shortening battery life.

Overall, a 100Ah lithium battery typically supports 1–2+ days of reliable operation for most 12V refrigerators.
