Battery works great!
Update. I received a replacement unit and it works perfect. Thanks BougeRv for the great customer service! I will continue buying your products.
Battery is dead on arrival. Unit would not turn on at all at first. I plugged the supplied ac adaptor into the unit and still nothing. I pushed power button many times and nothing. Tried charging with usb-c cord and still nothing. Plugged the ac adaptor back in and after an hour the display screen finally cam on and read zero percent and only charging at four watts. Charging at only four watts this battery will take 55 hours. I let it charge for over 3 hours to see if it would charge up, but nothing. Battery still at zero percent. So disappointed in bougeRv. I have had their fridge for over a year now and love it. Wish the battery worked. Will be returning it asap.

Great Product.
I bought this battery primarily because it was lightweight and rechargeable, two important criteria for my backpack amateur radio equipment. Fully charged at 100% and operating my station at low power (5w), this battery gives me quite a few hours on the air before the charge depletes to 80% and I can recharge it back to 100% with a 50w solar panel in a few minutes of full sunlight (no clouds). Great product.

Very useful battery but doesn’t last as long as it should
UPDATE*****This just does not last as long as I think it should. I have another cooler brand that also uses it’s own battery of the same size, the LION cooler from a popular membership store. The other brand will last about 12-13 hrs before it is depleted. This battery only made about 6 hours and died. I am not sure if it’s the cooler itself, but I am not thrilled with this. If you just need it for short outings or a grocery run (as I do since we live remotely) it will be fine. For camping or power outages, in which you rely on the battery rather than the wall plug, I would not recommend for the price.
Original review: I bought this for the BougeRV CR Pro26 cooler. Prime Day sale was good. This battery differs from another brand battery cooler that I have in that the battery can be used as a stand alone power bank for phones/ etc. and has flashlight. Very cool! The digital display on the top is also fantastic. It says 220 wh but also says 177 wh so I’m not sure which it is. It did not come with the short cord you’d use for the cooler (which came with the cooler). Makes sense because if you bought several batteries you’d only need one short power cord, so including with the cooler made more sense to me. Instead it came with a longer power cord for the 12V cig. lighter plug and the wall cord, both to charge it. I took the cooler with the battery to the store and ran it at 32 degrees in the back of my car. I returned 2 hours later and it was only down about 12%. It was a hot day so it worked very well. I’m hoping the battery goes on sale again as I’d like to have a backup.

Nice and compact
EDITED: 9/2/2023: This is an update: So, this battery only lasts about 6 hours in the 12V fridge. If you want something to last at least 12 hours this ain’t it. If you’re on the road and don’t have access to electricity to charge this, it might be a problem for you. I also noticed that it takes over 7 hours to charge. OMG! Nope. I can’t use the fridge until I resolve this situation. I’ll now have to ask to return it cause I don’t want to spend more on solar panels and cords to keep it charged. Still, it’s cute.
1st Review: I bought this to use with the fridge on the road. It’s neat and compact. Not sure how long power will last in the fridge but I look forward to using it. Had questions and the Customer Service contact was quick, responsive and very helpful.

Great option for travel days but a little weak when it’s hot.
We are a full-time rv family and have a Bougerv fridge. We LOVE our fridge and hoped this battery would be the solution for our beach and travel days. I run the fridge off our truck bed outlet and then hoped this would give me 5+hrs to not worry about the fridge. We keep fridge covered and insulated to help keep fridge nice and cold.
Pros:
-Great portable size
-Fair price
-Recharges itself fast
-Other output options to charge laptop or other devices.
-Love the display screen with output and charge level.
Cons:
-We spend most of our winter in FL so it’s generally pretty warm. The battery had trouble keeping fridge cold more than 3hrs. On every travel day/beach day it drained to 0% in under 3hrs. Pretty disappointing.
-Battery also had trouble charging MacBook while I was needing to work. It kept the computer going but didn’t make up ground on charge and went to 0% in under an hour.
Overall, it’s pretty good. I wish I could give it five stars but since it had trouble charging my Mac and keeping the fridge cold past 3hrs
I’ll give it 4 stars.
Price is fair and it’s worth having for a backup when you need a few hours of charge between stops.
