Most models made for wine storage only get down to 50 - 60 degrees. Check it out first on line. Also see if the temp control can be adjusted colder internally. Good luck. Jeff

Very energy inefficient, and likely ineffective in hot weather.

Also that is about 24 AH's. It never turns off or cycles IIRC.

11C or 51F. Thought might be cold enough. Need 30-40f so not an option. Thx.
But if your a wine lover...  ;P

AKA "Peltier tech" coolers, no good except in very mild ambient temps, *and* only with the motor running.
