Cool Box Dometic CK2 45 Hybrid — 43 L, electric (AC) and battery, cooling -15–10°C, black/silver

Dometic CK2 45 Hybrid is a portable cool box with a 43 L capacity, designed for mobile refrigeration and freezing. It supports hybrid power options — mains AC (230 V) and battery — and provides a temperature range from -15 to 10 °C. Housed in a compact black and silver casing, the unit is aimed at users who need reliable cooling on camping trips, road travel, or other mobile activities.

Advantages

The hybrid power system allows operation from both AC mains and an external battery, offering flexibility when mains power is unavailable. A broad temperature range enables both refrigeration and deep-freeze functions in a single unit. The 43 L internal volume provides practical storage for food, drinks and temperature-sensitive items while maintaining a compact footprint for transport and installation.

Suitable for

• Camping and caravanning
• Road trips and long drives
• Boating and outdoor recreation
• Transporting perishable goods during short trips

When it may not be suitable

The Dometic CK2 45 Hybrid may be unsuitable for users who require very large storage capacity beyond 43 litres or continuous operation without access to a compatible power source or sufficiently sized battery. It may also not be ideal for installations that demand integrated hardwired cooling systems or strict built-in cabinetry dimensions.

How to use

Connect the cool box to a 230 V AC supply when mains power is available or to a suitable external battery source when on the move. Set the required temperature within the -15 to 10 °C range using the unit controls, allow time for the interior to reach the selected temperature, and place food or drinks inside taking care not to block vents. For battery operation, ensure the battery is compatible and has sufficient capacity; monitor battery charge to avoid unexpected shutdowns.

What to consider before purchase

• Required storage capacity versus the 43 L internal volume
• Availability and compatibility of AC and battery power sources for intended use
• Weight (18.8 kg) for transport and mounting considerations
• Required temperature range for the items you plan to store

Usage recommendations

Allow the cool box to stabilise at the chosen temperature before loading large quantities and avoid placing hot items inside to maintain efficient cooling. Use a compatible battery with adequate capacity for extended off-grid operation and secure the unit during transport to prevent damage.
