OUR 60L FRIDGE FROM COMPANION KEEPS THE BEERS COLD, EVEN WHEN IT’S NOT PLUGGED IN TO THE 4X4 AUSTRALIA D-MAX.

COOL RUNNINGS

THAT’S not a mistake or some dodgy clickbait, the 60L singlezone Companion fridge/freezer we have in the back of the 4X4 Australia D-MAX will work when not plugged in to power, thanks to a built-in lithium battery.

I’m actually rather blown away by how many features the Companion fridge has, starting with the previously mentioned lithium battery pack that is built in to the fridge. Simply charge the fridge via the supplied 240V adaptor or via 12V while travelling and you’re away. Companion says this battery pack (which has two USB points built in, and can be removed for use as a portable power pack) will run the 60L fridge for approximately 16 hours – impressive, but in ideal conditions, I’ve had it run for as long as 40 hours when used at home as my office beer fridge.
