Car Battery Protection
The unit is equipped with a 3-stage battery protection system to prevent excessive discharge of your vehicle's battery. You can select between Low, Medium, and High protection levels via the control panel or the mobile app. Higher settings will cut off power to the fridge at a higher battery voltage, offering more protection for your vehicle's starting battery.
Mobile App Control
The Alpicool LGT50 can be controlled remotely via a dedicated mobile application (available for iOS and Android). This allows you to monitor temperatures, adjust settings, and switch modes conveniently from your smartphone.

- Insufficient Cooling: Ensure the lid is properly closed and sealed. Check that the ventilation grilles are not blocked. Verify the temperature setting is appropriate for the ambient conditions.
- Unusual Noise: The unit is designed to be low-noise. If unusual noises occur, ensure the unit is on a stable, flat surface and that nothing is obstructing the fan.
