- Q、How long does the fridge work?
- A、We charge the sub-battery full when we rent the car but it is dead within a half day to one day if the engine is off.(depends on the situation)
Driving conditions can affect a lot so we recommend you use it on full power when you drive and turn it off when you park.
*If the sub-battery is dead, the engine will still start because the car battery separate.
*If the internal battery is dead, none of the equipment will work including the FF heater and lights. You have to plug in an external 100V power or drive to charge it.
*It charges with one day driving.
- Q、How long can a FF heater work?
- A、You don't have to worry about fuel for the heater. It is automatically filled from the car’s fuel tank. If you use it on full power, it consumes less than 1 liter but the fan consumes battery power. When we rent a car , the battery is full but it is dead within 1 or 2 days without the engine on.
It depends on how long you drive so we recommend you turn it off when you sleep.
*When you use it, please set the dial nearly full. If you set the temperature low, the thermostat works frequently and battery is easily run down.
*If the sub-battery is dead, the car battery is different so the engine can be started.
