12/24v fridge/freezer/cooler Mains adaptor

Lazy-Ferret · 19-03-2018, 23:46

Before I stick it on Ebay, I just thought I would see if one of the many on here who have 12v fridges in your cars would be interested in this neat bit of kit.

Its a WAECO COOLPOWER EPS100, which is a mains adaptor for 12/24v fridges. Basically, when installed, it switches automatically to run the fridge off of mains when it is connected, and then switches back to the 12/24v battery when mains is removed.

Mains voltage: 230 volts AC
Output voltage: 25 volts DC
Output power: 100 watts
Battery voltage: 12/24 volts DC
Output current: 4 A
Dimensions (WxHxD): 115 x 55 x 160 mm
Weight: approx. 0.75 kg
Quality features: Switch mode, automatic priority for mains operation
Item designation: Mains adapter 110 - 240 V > 24 V

I got this when I first got my car freezer, as I asked in several places if it could run on mains when connected, and automatically switch to 12v when the mains was removed, but no one could answer, and even the manufacture did not get back to me, so as time was of the essence, I got this to do the job, but then fine that my freezer had this feature built in.

I paid about £60 for it, so if anyone on her would like it for £30 plus postage, then let me know.

Sounds like a cool gadget but I don't have a fridge, sorry bud!

Being an Engel owner I can't use it either.

Just thought I would check, it's one of those bit of kit tat you do not even realise exist normally as it is very badly advertised, and even the instructions don't do it justice.

As I had it, I used it a few times to cool the little Hella 12/24v pelter cool box down in the house the night before we travelled, but then I was given the proper Hella one to go with that box, which is a lot smaller than this one, and has the correct connector on it, but now I have the bigger Waeco Freezer, both are redundant.

I have an older Engel, manually switched, but bullet proof.
If compatible, a switch like this would have been useful though Clive.

On Facebook there are a few groups for self build motorhomes, I'm sure some one would have it.. but up to £40 so you can be knocked down :-)
