Our verdict

A fit for owners of a 12/24 Volt car fridge who want a DC cable with a stated 2 meter length and a brand on the page's list. Look elsewhere if you need the connector type or amperage confirmed first, since the page gives neither. The main caveat is that the fit claim covers all 12/24 Volt car refrigerators without a model list.

Why 3.3/5: Lifted by a stated cable length, weight, package size and part number. Held back by a page of only a few lines and a price, after-sale wording that differs between the store's pages and policy text, a mostly negative Trustpilot profile that cites support, and no independent test.

Listed as a DC power cord and car lighter power cable for 12/24 Volt car refrigerators, this accessory starts at $29.90. The page gives a cable length of 2 meters/6.56 ft, an item weight of 5.3 ounces, package dimensions of 3.97 x 1.06 x 1.02 inches and part number K18-2, and says no batteries are required. It names Alpicool, Dometic, COSTWAY, ARB, Ausranvik, ICECO, Bodega and JoyTutus as brands the parts are for.

Options and pricing

Three variants are listed: the cable alone at $29.90, a kit with a 90W adapter at $67.89 and a kit with a 60W adapter at $64.89. The 90W kit was out of stock when read. The page does not say what else the kits contain or what the adapter does, and no crossed-out price is shown.

How it compares

Where this page is a 12/24 Volt DC cable from $29.90, the Bodega Cooler 110-240V AC Power Cord for Car Fridges takes 110~240V AC and starts at $36.99. The Bodega Cooler Battery Charger for Detachable Battery, from $54.90, is listed for charging a detachable battery, a different job from either cord.

Shipping, returns and warranty

Shipping: the shipping page offers free standard shipping around mainland US from US warehouses (the FAQ names California, Texas and Pennsylvania), with 1 business day of processing, a tracking email once the order ships, and no delivery to PO, APO or FPO addresses; the address cannot be changed after shipment. Some products can go to Canada, Germany and Italy for an extra $35 (8 to 15 business days) or to the UK for an extra $60, while the FAQ says every product ships to the continental US, only part of the range to Canada and only the detachable battery to Europe. Returns: an order can be cancelled within 24 hours by email or phone; after it ships a double shipping fee comes off the refund and a 2% transaction fee may apply. A return within 30 days needs an email to [email protected] for a return authorization first, an unused, uninstalled product in its original packaging, and shipping back within 7 days of the refund confirmation to the Rancho Cucamonga, California address; the buyer pays the shipping, while for a defective or damaged item the store says it refunds the shipping fee after photos or video. Orders bought from Amazon, Walmart or other resellers are not covered. Exchanges within 30 days carry a restocking fee and shipping that vary by brand. The page gives the refund time as 3 to 7 business days in one place and up to 7 in another, and the FAQ says 1 to 3. Warranty: the warranty page promises 2 years on products bought directly from bodegacooler.com, with the exact period on the last page of the manual, and also says a 1-year warranty extends to 2 years by registering the product (the FAQ says register within 10 days of purchase); it covers defects in materials and workmanship, not misuse, accidents or unauthorized repair, and not products from third-party sellers. Some product pages state other terms, such as a 5-year compressor warranty with 1 year on the rest, 24 months on the compressor and accessories, or a 5-year product warranty. Payment: Klarna, American Express, Discover, JCB, Mastercard, PayPal and Visa, plus regional methods such as Boleto, THAI QR PromptPay, Rabbit LINE Pay and ShopeePay, according to the FAQ.

Before you buy

The page shows 27 customer reviews with 85% of them five-star in the store's own widget, which we could not verify. Reputation: on Trustpilot (read on the Australian site) bodegacooler.com is a claimed profile with a TrustScore of 2.6 from 16 reviews, 25% five-star and 69% one-star; the company rarely replies, and the newest reviews (August and September 2026) describe a 100-quart unit with about 60 quarts usable, a replacement that froze the fridge side, and unanswered support. A June 2026 review of a 3-door Bodega cooler sold on Amazon (The Inventory, which names no model code and may not cover this item) cites a 2.5/5 TrustScore and reports of damaged units and slow support. A web search found no BBB profile. The bodegacooler.com domain was registered on 27 May 2019. The store's FAQ says only one promotion code can be used per order and offers new customers 12% off fridges for subscribing to its newsletter, and some pages advertise their own sales and codes.

  • The 90W kit was out of stock when read

Free standard shipping covers mainland US from warehouses in the US, with 1 business day of processing; no PO, APO or FPO addresses.

The buyer pays the shipping unless the item is defective or damaged; cancellation is free within 24 hours of ordering. Orders from Amazon or other resellers are not covered.

How long is the warranty?

The warranty page says 2 years for purchases from bodegacooler.com, or 1 year extended to 2 by registering the product within 10 days of purchase (per the FAQ); the manual names the exact period. Some product pages state other terms, so keep the order number and ask support before relying on one figure.
