Battery Protection

The built-in Eco electronic control module automatically monitors your car battery's voltage. The refrigerator will automatically shut off when excessive power is consumed, thereby preventing draining the battery or interfering with starting your car.

To adjust the battery protection level, press and hold the 'Settings' button for 3 seconds. Tap the 'Settings' button to cycle through the levels:

• H (High Level): Higher cut-off voltage, more protection for your vehicle battery. Recommended for vehicle use.
• M (Medium Level): Default setting, balanced protection.
• L (Low Level): Lower cut-off voltage, allows more battery usage before shut-off.

5. Dual Zone Functionality

The Tecnolove 25L Car Refrigerator features a true dual-zone cooling system, allowing for flexible storage options:

• Left Compartment: This is the primary cooling zone with an independently adjustable temperature range from -4℉ to 32℉. It can function as a freezer or for heavy chilling.
• Right Compartment: This zone is dedicated to refrigeration and its temperature cannot be adjusted separately. Its temperature varies with the left side, always staying above 39℉. For example, if the left side is set to 17℉, the right side averages around 50℉. If the left side is set to -4℉, the right side stays around 39℉.

This design ensures flexible storage for both beverages and fresh foods. Each compartment can be operated independently without affecting the temperature stability of the other side.
