A second source of power for the cooler
The information available on this product is brief: a capacity of 298Wh and a weight of 1,9 kg. It is a battery offered for the EcoFlow Glacier electric cooler, which keeps a cool box cold when no socket is nearby. For everything else (voltage, running time, how it is inserted, operating temperature), consult the manufacturer’s manual instead of relying on assumptions.
When an extra reserve makes sense
Leisure outings
A long picnic, a day at the beach, a weekend sports tournament or a fishing trip: all situations where the cooler is opened and closed often, and where a spare battery avoids giving up cold drinks or fresh food.
Travel and journeys
On a drive of several hours, the spare battery can take over while the other one recharges from a socket, at home or at a stopover.
What the data says
At 1,9 kg the battery can be handled with one hand and fits in a bag or pouch. Its capacity of 298Wh is the only energy figure supplied. Since dimensions, cell chemistry and protection rating are not specified, do not assume their values.
Cautious use
- Read the manual before first use to learn how to fit it.
- Make sure the battery is fully inserted and locked, if the system has a lock.
- Avoid leaving it in a closed boot in the sun.
- Recharge it with the accessory and under the conditions the manufacturer sets out.
Assessing your needs properly
To know whether a spare battery is useful to you, note how long your longest outings last, how often you open the cooler and what chances you have to recharge between trips. A whole day far from anything may justify two batteries, whereas a short outing is content with one. Take the weather into account too: in strong heat a cooler asks more of its power supply, although the data supplied does not let us put a figure on that difference.
It is also worth thinking about where the spare will ride. A padded pouch inside the bag, away from keys and coins, protects the contacts, and a note of which battery was charged last avoids mixing them up in the middle of an outing.

Safety precautions
Keep the battery away from excessive heat, knocks and moisture, since no water-resistance rating is communicated. Do not use it if it is cracked or swollen, do not short the contacts and never take it apart. If it gets abnormally warm, remove it and let it cool in the open air.
Care and storage
Wipe it with a dry cloth. During long inactivity, keep it half charged somewhere dry and cool and check it now and then. Carry it in a compartment where it cannot knock against metal objects.
