Portable Off Grid Power
The BougeRV 220WH portable power has been a welcome addition to my portable camping/off-grid set up. It is advertised as back up power for portable refrigerator/freezers which it has worked extremely well. With my BougeRV dual compartment fridge/freezer set with both sides on 40degrees ECO LO, then battery lasted for 3.5 days. Of course, it lasts for a shorter time when the freezer is used. With one side fridge and other side freezer it lasted for just over 24 hours.
Of course it can also be used to charge most items. We take it along on road trips and pack it in the baby stroller when we take extended walks. It isnât exactly light or small enough to carry around in a pack or purse, but with some planning it can be done if remote power is necessary.
The solar panel function is excellent. I am always surprised that energy is created out of thin air! It is easy to hook up and start drawing power from the sun. It charged relatively quickly but that also depends on cloud coverage.
The one downside for me is that it doesnât have a 3 prong plug AC connection. It does have all other types including DC cigarette lighter which I used to charge the fridge.
All in all, great addition and very useful piece of kit. Hopefully it remains reliable and free of malfunctions.
EDIT: After a few weeks of use I must say that I may have been quick to gauge how long the power station lasts. The 3.5 days I mentioned in the original review seems to have been during very ideal conditions. Now that I am packing my fridge and this power pack full time in my SUV I canât make it last for a little more than a day. It has been useful but for the fridge, I consider it a true back up and not a main source of power.

Works great
Had to come on here and change my review. The first day I charged the battery all day and when I used it the next day it only lasted 3 hours before dying completely. I put it to charge inside my house and it charged all day and night and was not at 100%. Charged to like 48%. Took the battery with me in the car and put it to charge. It charged faster in my car than in my house. Day 3, battery has been charging faster in both my house and my car. Battery has also been working great. No more issues. I use it for like 3-4 hours a day, Monday through Friday and it only uses like not even 10% of the battery charge.

Great little power bank!
I only use this to power my BougeRV fridge when the truck is off. For that purpose it works fantastic. Itâll keep the fridge going for nearly 12 hrs (easily all night) so you donât have to worry about things going bad.
I have the fridge plugged to the battery and the battery to the truck in a sequence so when Iâm driving itâs charging and as soon as I turn the key off it starts to self power the fridge. It works PERFECTLY!
I will usually have a 100% charge to start my night at camp no problem.
Iâve also used a 60watt solar panel instead of the truck to charge the battery while itâs running the fridge. It can take in more power than itâs using so in about 2hrs it was topped off and shut down the solar input automatically until the fridge ran down the power then automatically switched on again!
I love that it fits all contained in the little cubbie on the fridge but it does get hot so be very careful if your running and charging it hard to crack open the door on the fridge cubbie to give it some breathing room.
This battery is easy to use and seems very durable as well.
I noticed it has a slight high pitched whine when running but it canât be heard when installed in the fridge so itâs not an issue.
Would 100% buy this together with the Bouge RV fridge again. Great bang for your buck!

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 Iâm not sure which it is. It did not come with the short cord youâd use for the cooler (which came with the cooler). Makes sense because if you bought several batteries youâd 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. Iâm hoping the battery goes on sale again as Iâd like to have a backup.
