Transcool EC3 only uses a maximum of 1.7 amps (on high speed)
This equals hours of cooling comfort – even without your vehicle running
You will generally find ‘low’ fan speed (0.7amps) more than adequate for sleeping.
For extended periods of cooling, use of a deep cycle battery or battery power pack is recommended.
The Transcool EC3 features new Low Battery Protection to shut the cooler off if battery voltage falls below 11.5V
Results below display greater fan operation times using a 12v100Ah Deep Cycle LiFePo4 Battery.
- LOW SPEED – 157 Hours*
- HIGH SPEED – 59 hours*
*Test results using Transcool EC3 with a 12volt 100Ah deep cycle battery pack until battery power was drained to 10.5 volts.
A deep cycle battery can supply power supply for a much longer period of time, and can be drained to a lower voltage than a standard car ‘starting’ battery, which has a primary purpose to deliver short, high energy bursts of current for vehicle starting.
Most caravans, 4WD’s and boats are fitted with secondary ‘deep cycle’ battery systems, sometimes with larger 100 amp hour batteries to provide extended power supply for appliances such as fridges and cooler’s etc.
The following results were achieved using a standard 12volt 60ah Lead acid car battery*, with Transcool EC3 running until battery voltage was reduced to 12 volts – this ensures reliable vehicle startup!
- LOW SPEED – 42 hours
- HIGH SPEED – 10 hours
*Battery power draw examples were recorded using a fully charged Delkor 22F-520 (12volt 60 Amp hour) car battery, running the Transcool EC3 constantly until battery voltage fell to 12 volts (battery was not connected to car at time). Individual results may vary on depending on battery specification.
