ICECO VL45 Pro Dual Zone 45QT Portable Cooler Black
ICECO VL45 Pro Dual Zone 45QT Portable Cooler Black
The ICECO VL45 ProD is a 12V dual-zone fridge/freezer with 47.5QT (about 45L) of cold storage, finished in black. A sliding divider is what sets it apart: leave it in to split the box into two independent zones — one a fridge near 38°F, the other a freezer at 0°F — or pull it out and run one big 47.5QT space when you need to haul a single load. The full range runs 0°F to 50°F, so it covers ice cream on one end and a chilled six-pack on the other. Each zone holds its own setpoint, so the compressor only works as hard as the colder side asks.
Power is the flexible part. It runs on 12V or 24V DC straight from your rig or a power station, or on 110-240V AC through the built-in adapter at home, with dual DC ports on opposite ends and two USB outlets that put out power when it's running on DC. Lab draw is about 0.463 kWh over 24 hours, and a SECOP compressor does the cooling. Three-level battery protection watches your voltage and cuts the compressor before it pulls down your starter battery, then restarts once the battery recovers. The shell is hardened steel; net weight is 53.4 lbs empty, and it measures 28.1 in long, 15.9 in wide, and 18.1 in tall.
Access is built for tight cargo areas. The lid is side-opening and lifts from either side, so a drawer system or tonneau cover overhead doesn't box you out. Inside you get a removable basket, a drain plug, a waterproof baffle, an LED light, and room for items up to 13 in tall. It ships with an AC cable and a DC cable, and the SECOP compressor carries a 5-year warranty with 1 year on the rest of the parts.

Overview
A hardened-steel 12V dual-zone fridge/freezer in black with 47.5QT of storage and a sliding divider that sets it up as two independent zones or one big single-zone box. A SECOP compressor runs it on DC or AC power.
Key features
- Sliding divider creates two independent zones — fridge on one side, freezer on the other — or removes to run the full 47.5QT box as a single space
- Each zone adjustable across 0°F to 50°F; set one to refrigerate and one to freeze at the same time
- SECOP compressor draws about 0.463 kWh per 24 hours
- Triple power input: 12V/24V DC with dual ports on opposite ends, plus 110-240V AC through the built-in adapter; two USB outlets (power out on DC only)
- Three-level battery protection guards your vehicle's starter battery and restarts once voltage recovers
- Side-opening lid lifts from either side for access in tight cargo areas; removable basket, drain plug, waterproof baffle, and interior LED inside
Use cases
Built for weekend-to-week overlanding and camping in mid-size SUVs and trucks, where you want fresh food on one side and frozen on the other without hauling a second cooler. Owners run it off house batteries, portable power stations, and solar, and plug it into the wall to pre-cool at home before the drive out. Slide the divider out and it doubles as a single big box for group trips or a grocery run.

Can I run a fridge and a freezer at the same time?
Yes. Leave the sliding divider in and you get two independent zones, each with its own setpoint anywhere from 0°F to 50°F — so one side refrigerates while the other freezes. Pull the divider out and the whole 47.5QT box runs as a single zone.
How much power does it use, and will it drain my battery?
Lab draw is about 0.463 kWh over 24 hours. Owners running it on fridge settings report only a few percent of an auxiliary battery per day, more if you're freezing both sides. Three-level battery protection cuts the compressor before it pulls your starter battery too low, then restarts once the battery climbs back up.
How big is it, and what fits inside?
It measures 28.1 in long, 15.9 in wide, and 18.1 in tall, with room for items up to 13 in tall. Empty net weight is 53.4 lbs. Measure your cargo area before you buy — it's compact for a dual-zone box, but it's still a steel unit.
Is the freezer side big enough to be useful?
It's a real freezer and hits 0°F, but the whole box is 47.5QT, so the frozen side is sized for a few days of meat, ice packs, or a pint of ice cream — not a week of frozen meals for a family. If you need more frozen space, slide the divider toward the smaller side or freeze both zones.
Can I power it at home instead of the vehicle?
Yes. It has a built-in AC adapter for a standard 110-240V wall outlet and a 12V/24V DC input for a vehicle or power station, and it ships with both cables. A lot of owners pre-cool it on AC at the house, then switch to DC for the drive out so the compressor isn't fighting a warm box all day.
How do I keep it from rattling and staying dry on the trail?
Use the removable interior basket to keep loose cans and bottles off the floor so they don't bounce around on washboard, and pull the drain plug to empty melt and condensation after a trip. The waterproof baffle and interior LED make it easy to find what you packed without dumping the whole box.
