BougeRV 266Wh Portable Power Station for Fridge Features

Up to 18 Hours of Fridge Runtime

BougeRV rates the 266Wh battery at up to 18 hours running a CRPRO 23qt fridge, tested at 77°F with the fridge pre-cooled to 39°F in Eco mode. Runtime may vary with your fridge, settings and conditions. Pre-cooling the fridge to its set temperature before you switch to the battery helps extend the operating time.

A Cigarette Port Built for Fridges

The cigarette port delivers 13V at 10A, 130W, and the manual lists a 260W peak. Plug your 12V fridge straight in. A cap covers the port when it isn't in use.

Three Ways to Recharge

Charge through the XT-60 input from solar or an AC adapter at 11-32V, 6A and up to 100W, reaching 0 to 80% in about 2 hours. The included car charging cable charges it from your vehicle at 12V, 6A and up to 72W, 0 to 80% in about 3 hours. The USB-C port also accepts up to 100W and reaches 0 to 80% in about 2 hours.

USB-C and USB-A for Your Devices

The USB-C port works as both input and output, with 5V, 9V, 12V and 15V at 3A and 20V at 5A, up to 100W. The USB-A port supplies 5V/3A, 9V/2A or 12V/1.5A, up to 18W. Use them for phones, laptops and cameras.

ECO Mode and a Clear Display

The screen shows battery level, input watts, output watts and any error code. The B266 ships in ECO mode. If the cigarette port has no output for 5 hours, it goes to sleep, and it shuts down if it stays idle. In non-ECO mode the output stays on until you turn it off. Hold the power and LED buttons together to switch modes.

LED Light and Four Layers of Protection

The built-in LED has Dim, Bright and SOS modes and works as a flashlight. Over-temperature, over-voltage, over-charge and over-current protection help keep the battery and your fridge running safely.

Real-World Applications

Road trips. Run a 12V fridge in your cab, then recharge the battery from the vehicle with the car charging cable.

Camping. Keep the fridge cold at camp and recharge from a portable solar panel through the XT-60 input.

Beach days. Carry the 3.3 lb battery to the sand and plug the fridge into the cigarette port.

Device charging. Top up a phone over USB-A or a laptop over 100W USB-C.

Practical Comparison

266Wh Battery Versus Running From Your Vehicle

Running a fridge from the vehicle's 12V socket ties it to the car. The 266Wh battery lets you carry the fridge's power to camp or the beach, and you can recharge it from the car later.

266Wh Battery Versus 266Wh Battery + AC Power Cord

266Wh Battery comes with the car charging cable, so you recharge from your vehicle, solar or USB-C. 266Wh Battery + AC Power Cord adds the AC adapter and cord for charging from a wall outlet through the XT-60 input.

Buyer Guidance

Solar and Storage

For solar charging, BougeRV says the panel's total open circuit voltage should be between 11V and 32V with an XT-60 connector, and it recommends its 50W book-sized foldable or 100W portable panels. Charge between 32°F and 104°F (0°C to 40°C) and use it between 14°F and 104°F (-10°C to 40°C). Don't leave it in a closed car, where temperatures may exceed 140°F (60°C). Keep it out of rain and snow, store it cool and dry, and charge and discharge it every three months during long storage.
