ICECO VL45 Single Zone 47QT 12V Portable Fridge Freezer Olive
ICECO VL45 Single Zone 47QT 12V Portable Fridge Freezer Olive
The ICECO VL45 is a single-zone 12V fridge/freezer with 47.6QT (45L) of cold space in one box, finished in an olive painted metal shell. Single zone means one temperature at a time: drop it to 0°F and it's a true freezer, set it near 38°F and it's a fridge. The full range is 0°F to 50°F. A MAX mode pulls the temp down fast, and an ECO mode trims power on long off-grid stretches. There's no second compartment to juggle, which is what keeps the price and the footprint down.
Power is flexible. The VL45 runs on 12V or 24V DC straight from your rig, a dual-battery setup, or a power station, and switches to 110-240V AC through the built-in transformer when you're parked at the house. The SECOP compressor draws about 55W while it's cycling — roughly 0.347 kWh over a full day in lab conditions. A 3-stage Low/Mid/High battery-protection system cuts the compressor off before it can flatten your starter battery, so you pick how aggressive that cutoff is.
The shell is painted metal with a spring-loaded stainless-steel handle and a tight-lock latch that seals against dust and washboard. The empty box weighs about 50 lbs and measures 27.4 x 15.8 x 19.2 inches. It ships with both AC and DC cords and is backed by a 5-year compressor warranty. Note this is the standard VL45 — the multi-directional lid, internal LED, and USB ports are Pro-only.

Key features
- Single zone, adjustable 0°F to 50°F; runs as a true freezer or a fridge, with MAX mode for fast pull-down and ECO mode to stretch power
- SECOP compressor pulls about 55W while running — roughly 0.347 kWh over 24 hours
- Triple power input: 12V/24V DC plus 110-240V AC through the built-in transformer
- 3-stage (Low/Mid/High) dynamic battery protection guards your starter battery
- Painted metal shell with a spring-loaded steel handle and a dust-sealing tight-lock latch
- Compact 27.4 x 15.8 x 19.2 in box; ~50 lbs empty
Use cases
Built for weekend overlanding and compact truck, SUV, and van builds where one cold box beats a melting ice chest and a dual-zone is overkill. Run it off house batteries, a power station, or solar, and the built-in AC adapter lets it double as a garage or tailgate fridge between trips. It also makes a clean dedicated freezer next to an existing fridge.

Can it be a fridge and a freezer at the same time?
No. This is a single-zone box, so it holds one temperature across the whole interior. Set it as a fridge or as a freezer for each trip. If you need fresh on one side and frozen on the other at once, look at a dual-zone model instead.
How much power does it use, and will it drain my battery?
The SECOP compressor pulls about 55W while it's cycling — roughly 0.347 kWh over a full day in lab conditions, and more when you run it down at 0°F. The 3-stage Low/Mid/High battery-protection system shuts the compressor off before it kills your starter battery, and you choose how cautious that cutoff is.
Can I power it at home, not just in the vehicle?
Yes. It has a built-in 110-240V AC transformer plus 12V/24V DC input, so it plugs into a wall outlet or a vehicle/power-station feed. That makes it easy to pre-chill at the house before you roll out.
How is this different from the VL45 Pro?
Same 47.6QT single zone and the same SECOP cooling. The standard VL45 uses a single fixed lid and skips the Pro's multi-directional lid, internal LED light, and USB charge ports. You give up those conveniences and pay less for the same cold box.
How big and heavy is it?
The box is 27.4 in long, 15.8 in wide, and 19.2 in tall, and weighs about 50 lbs empty. Plan on a slide mount or a second set of hands once it's loaded.
How do I keep it clean and odor-free?
Wipe the interior down and let it dry fully. When you store it between trips, leave the lid cracked so air moves through — that's what keeps odor and mildew out of a sealed box.
