 The Engel MT series (MT35, [[http://amzn.to/2iS7u7W|MT45]]) are reported to have very low current draw due to clever cooling airflow design.((http://www.cheaprvliving.com/forums/showthread.php?tid=28169&pid=355948#pid355948))
+Secessus describes the interior size of the Alicool 15L (flat lid) version:
+> I store leftovers in pint and quart mason jars, which stand up fine in the [Alpicool] 15L. Longneck beers are slightly too tall. Since glass is heavy and harder to compact for trash removal I buy beer in cans anyhow. 16oz tallboys do fit. <-- the info discerning gentlemen need to know((https://www.reddit.com/r/vandwellers/comments/f68tji/lowest_consumption_coolbox/fi3wcav/))
 ==== Peltier refrigeration ====
-Peltier cooling doesn't get used much in solar setups because it uses a lot of power and does so 100% of the time.  A typical Peltier cooler might run 4-5A continuously whereas a compressor cooler might run 2A 30% of the time and turn off the rest of the time.

 This kind of device cools to ~30-40F below ambient, which may not be a problem if the ambient is 80F or less.
