Using a power bank while parked ? Our Dometic warms up pretty quick once the power is off.
I've got a blanket for it...It hold temp for running into stores like a regular ice box...
I might have other use cases for something like that Andy. Which Ryobi batteries? 60v, 40v? Do you get much run-time?
I originally bought mine for our first long trip (5 weeks) and didn’t think I’d unit much after that. Boy was I wrong! I use mine weekly since getting it 4 years ago and just leave it in the back seat now. Like Sid it comes in really handy for grocery runs so now you don’t have to rush back home to put everything away. Of course it was really handy while moving as we were able to take anything we had in the fridge and made lunches so we don’t have to stop and eat all the time.
They are the 18 volt batteries. I have 2 of the 12ah batteries. I use them in the Ryobi 120v converter. If it’s summer and in the shade I can get about 4hrs maybe less out of one. I have 6ah batteries also. Last weekend it was only 70 and it ran for 6hrs and didn’t even use an entire 6ah battery. But generally I just plug it into my generator at the ball field. When I go to the neighbors I put it in a beach wagon. It’s 50/50 plugging it in outside at there house or using the batteries.
The one I have is 37qt. It’s not very big but holds a decent amount. I’ve thought about getting one of the power stations for when I want to run fans and the cooler without using my generator at the ball field. Sometimes we’re there 12hrs or more
but when I start running low on charged batteries I just charge them in the truck. 4 of our friends have bought electric coolers after seeing ours lol.
The power station comes in real handy when we're out hiking or visiting National Parks. I can go all day with mine and still have 20-30% left at the end of the day depending on the outside temps. lol Many of my friends and neighbors have also bought one since seeing mine. They're so much better and convenient than having to buy ice and have soggy food or if you're camping and there's no stores around for miles.The one I have is 37qt.

More than likely it is ready the temp of the bird. Even though the fridge is set to 37 the bird is frozen solid and that temp will register as its the fridge temp. Once it's defrosted (or starting to defrost) you should see the temp rising to your set temp.
Frozen items chill the fridge, the thermostat reads that temp, and won’t run the compressor until the temp goes up and beyond your set temp. My Iceco JP50 does this too. Also, temps at the top are never as cold. We set ours to 37. Multiple 2 week offroad camping trips, this and a Jackery have made a lot of difference in our outdoor adventuring.
