What to Do with the Car Refrigerator After Parking and Turning Off the Engine?

If connected to the ignition switch, it will power off after removing the key; if connected to the parking lights or hazard lights position, the refrigerator will continue to work after removing the key. Car mobile power supplies are generally 30000mAh, and the power consumption of car refrigerators is 35-50W, which is enough for 6-8 hours of use. Bring it to a place with a 220V AC power source, prepare a power adapter, and the car refrigerator can be used normally with 220V power support.

After parking and turning off the engine, the car fridge stops working immediately. I often encounter this issue when driving with food, as the cooling effect drops instantly, allowing bacteria to multiply rapidly, causing meat and dairy products to spoil quickly. My routine is to immediately open the trunk, transfer all perishable items from the fridge into insulated bags, add ice packs to maintain coldness, and rush home to store them in the household refrigerator. Any delay leads to food spoilage, which is not only a health hazard but also a waste of money. I recommend planning the quantity needed before trips, avoiding excess fresh produce, and keeping extra cooling bags handy for unexpected situations.
