Installing the Battery
If a battery is already installed, skip this step. The cooler supports one or two batteries. Install a single battery in the right compartment. Avoid placing objects in the empty compartment to prevent contamination of battery contacts.
Open the battery cover. Place the battery inside until it clicks. The screen will display "Battery Connected" if the cooler is on. Close the battery cover. To remove the battery, lift its handle.
Diagrams illustrate the four steps of battery installation: opening the cover, inserting the battery, and closing the cover.
Using Your Cooler
Important Tips for Using the Circulating Fan
- Do not insert fingers or objects into the fan cover.
- Adult supervision is required for children using this product.
- Do not cover the fan surface when using the air-cooling function, as this reduces performance and cooling.
- Do not disassemble the fan cover. If necessary, ensure the cooler is powered off first.
Powering On/Off
To ensure reliable compressor operation after long transportation, place the cooler flat for three hours before first use. Ensure it is connected to mains power or has a battery installed before turning it on.
Before first use, recharge the cooler to activate.
Press the [Power Button] for 3 seconds to turn the cooler on or off.

Using the App
Connect with Wi-Fi and download the Anker app to control the cooler remotely.
Connecting the Cooler:
- Connect to Wi-Fi and download the app.
- Once powered on, Bluetooth activates automatically. Turn on phone Bluetooth and add the cooler in the app.

Settings
Temperature and mode can be set via the app or directly on the cooler.
Setting the Temperature:
Press the [Temperature Button] once to enter temperature settings. Use the [Up/Down Buttons] to adjust the temperature. Press the [OK Button] to confirm and return to the homepage.
Diagrams show the cooler display adjusting temperature from -20°C to -15°C.
Setting the Mode:
Press the [Settings Button] to enter the Settings page, then press the [Navigation Buttons] to select Mode. Choose between Eco, Smart, or Max modes and press the [OK Button] to confirm.
- Eco Mode: Quietest, saves energy, longest battery life. May have slower cooling.
- Smart Mode: Default mode. Uses NTC sensors to balance cooling performance and energy efficiency based on internal and external temperatures.
- Max Mode: Uses maximum power for rapid cooling. Reduces battery life; use only when needed.
Powering Your Cooler
Multiple charging methods should not be used simultaneously.
AC
Power the cooler by connecting it to a wall outlet using the AC charging cable.
Diagram shows the AC charging cable connecting the cooler to a wall outlet.
Car
Connect the cooler to a car's output port with the car charging cable.
Diagram shows the car charging cable connecting the cooler to a car's power port.
Car Battery Protection Grades:
The cooler offers three battery protection levels (Low, Medium, High) to prevent car battery over-discharge when connected. To modify the level of battery protection, press the [Settings Button], then press the [Navigation Button] to select Protective Voltage, and confirm with the [OK Button]. Continue pressing the [Navigation Button] to cycle through L/M/H, and confirm the level with the [OK Button].
If the cooler has no battery and the car's voltage is below the set level, the cooler stops. If the car's voltage recovers, the cooler resumes. If the cooler has a battery and the car's voltage is low, it switches to its own battery.
Note: Disable car battery protection to avoid accidental triggering when powering via car.
Diagrams illustrate Low and Medium/High voltage connections to a car battery.
USB-C
Note: USB-C cable and charger are not included.
Power the cooler by connecting it to a wall outlet with a USB-C cable.
Diagram shows a USB-C cable connecting the cooler to a power source.
Solar Panel (100W Max, 12V-30V)
This method requires the battery to be in the cooler. To protect the compressor, the cooler operates only when the battery level is at least 5% during solar charging.
Power the cooler by connecting the battery to a solar panel with an XT60 cable.
Diagram shows the cooler connected to a solar panel.
Maintenance Best Practices
- Turn off power before cleaning for safety.
- Clean after disassembly and reassemble in reverse order. Avoid excessive force.
- Use a soft cloth with neutral detergent. Do not use scouring powder, benzene, hydrochloric acid, hot water, coarse brushes, abrasives, or hard objects.
- Regularly clean the interior and exterior with a damp cloth.
- Never use running water or immerse the cooler in water.
- Ensure air inlets and outlets are free of dust and dirt for ventilation and heat dissipation.
- After cleaning, check the power cord for damage or moisture and ensure the plug is not overheated.
- Dry the cooler with a soft dry cloth or sponge before connecting power to prevent electric shock or short circuits.
- Place the cooler on a level surface. Tilt angles exceeding 30° may affect compressor operation.
