What you need to know about Iceco APL35 refrigerator Power Consumption

[@ToneLoco1]

Just got mine today! So excited!

[@OverlandTrailsAdventures]

Really enjoying it so far.

Helpful to see some numbers, thank you. But for the record you have a mistake in using units correctly. Watts is a measure of power at a moment in time. It is already a rate (joules/sec) and watts/hour does not make any sense. I see this in a lot of reviews which is not ideal when it is trying to be presented as scientific testing. Watt-hours is quanity of energy consumption over a period of time. It used a total of 341 watt-hours during the 12 hour test. So it used 28.41 watt-hours/hour not 28.41 watts/hour. You could state that energy consumption during your test was equivalent to a 28.41 watt constant load for 12 hours. Because of course 28.41 watts for 1 hour is 28.41 watt-hours and 28.41 watts for 12 hours is the 341 watt-hours consumed. Still got some good info from you here and that thing does seem to sip power under not easy conditions.

@ryanmcq1213 hey thanks for the help. I'll apply that next time I test something electrical.

[@SOLDOZER]

They want $250 to ship it any faster than 2 weeks. LOL. No thanks.

@@SOLDOZER outch nope..lol

1st of all good suggestion to use the scientific method of getting actual power usage in different environments. When using the Jackery 500 it would not last 1 full day unless you had an outside power source recharging it ie solar panel, car power, or ac plug in. 24hr usage would be in excess or 600 wh.

Dang it, I have one coming with the cover and I wanted to get the Iceco 250Wh battery to go with it but now Im not so sure..lol.. Some say 6-10 hours, some say 36 hours... Talk about analysis paralysis..I think Im just going to get a 500wh battery pack and be done with it.. Thanks!

[@OverlandTrailsAdventures]

@@drewpknutz1410 it worked well with our jackery 500. I would recommend going with a 1000 model.

[@SOLDOZER]

250wh is not going to last long. If it was running full time at 40 watts, its only going to last 6 hours. Its obviously not going to run full time, but Id say the 6-10 hours would be accurate in summer heat conditions. 36 hours? LOL Nooo.....

[@drewpknutz1410]

@SOLDOZER I bought a couple setpower 216wh small batteries, today I tested a little.. in my truck I connected one of the batteries after my apl35 was down to 37 fridge, 17 freezer and let it sit in the cab at bout 90f for my 8.5 hour work shift, it was down to 48% .. my fridge has the cover, but that surprised me. I didn't open it at all though

[@OverlandTrailsAdventures]

@@drewpknutz1410 hey was it set on max cool or eco?

[@drewpknutz1410]

@@OverlandTrailsAdventures Eco.. I have another larger battery, but these little guys are covenient!

[@trainedcombo]

Just got mine and hooked it up to my EcoFlow Delta 2. So far, so good. Question about the fridge itself. What the difference with Eco/MAX? The different battery protection and what settings I should set it to?

[@OverlandTrailsAdventures]

Hey the default settings on battery protection are good.
