And relax knowing your cooler will never leave you stranded – the CFX3 actively monitors battery power and turns itself off when low voltage is detected. Designed for maximized internal capacity you can be away for longer. A rearrangeable wire basket and divider ensure organized storage. You don’t need to worry about space-consuming ice. As long as you have access to a power source, the CFX’s powerful cooling will reliably freeze food, allowing you to stay longer and experience more.
