    Thermoelectric REFRIGERATOR with Temperature Control

    Does anyone have experience with a Thermoelectric REFRIGERATOR Koolatron-AC-DC-Heat-Pipe-Fridge-KCR40B-KOO1115 with Temperature Control? If so, how does your battery bank hold up after the sun goes down and solar is no longer working? I know is it similar to the older Coleman 12v cooler but this...
