Our verdict
For owners of a Bodega TWW, TAW, RTW, WD or P series fridge who want a removable battery that charges in the fridge or from solar. Look elsewhere if you need a charger in the box, a confirmed fit for another brand or an independently measured runtime. The main caveat is that the working time, temperature range and solar figures are the store's own.

Why 3.4/5: Lifted by a specification block with capacity, voltage, charge limits and weight, plus charging and solar detail. Held back by inconsistent after-sale wording across the store's pages, a Trustpilot profile that is mostly negative with support complaints, and no independent test.
With a stated capacity of 15600mAh/173Wh, this removable battery for 12v portable fridges is listed at $159.99 in Black. The page gives a rated voltage of 11.1V, a net weight of 1.13 kg and a working time of 4~10 hours. It names the Bodega TWW/TAW/RTW/WD/P series, plus other 12V portable refrigerators with a matching hole shape, and says it charges in the fridge, from a solar panel or from a separate charger.

Options and pricing
Two variants: Black at $159.99 and Gray at $139.99, with Gray out of stock when read. The page shows a crossed-out price of $189.99. It says the old model came with a battery charger and the new model has none yet; the specification block lists the charger as not included, and the page says the dedicated charger and charging station are purchased separately.
How it compares
The store's Bodega Cooler Battery Charger for Detachable Battery for a detachable battery starts at $54.90; this page names no charger model and says only that a dedicated charger is purchased separately. On price, the battery's $159.99 sits beside the Bodega Cooler Portable Fridge Slider with Buckle Straps at $168.99 and the Bodega Cooler RV Fridge Installation Mounting Frame from $149.99, but those two hold or mount a fridge rather than power it.
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 69 customer reviews with 71% 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 page shows a countdown or limited-time sale banner, which we could not verify. The page shows a crossed-out regular price; that is the store's own comparison figure.
What we liked
- Capacity, rated voltage, charge limits, working time and net weight are listed in a specification block
- Three charging routes are given: in the fridge, from a solar panel or with a separate charger
- Solar input limits are stated (MAX 50V and 10A) along with a 50W panel recommendation
- Installation is three steps, and the battery level and voltage show on the fridge control panel, per the page
- The page says how the old and new models differ, including the charger
Worth noting
- The working time is a range (4~10 hours) that the page says depends on set temperature, mode, ambient temperature and contents
- The charger is not included and the page names no charger model
- Gray was out of stock when read
- Per the page, solar charging only works when the input power exceeds the fridge's working power (about 40-50w) or the fridge is on standby
Questions before you buy
How can the battery be charged?
The page lists charging in the portable fridge (DC 12/24V and AC 100-240V), from a solar panel (12-50V), or with the dedicated battery charger or the charging station, which it says are purchased separately. For solar it gives a MAX input of 50V and 10A and recommends a 50W solar panel.
How long does the battery run a fridge?
The specification block gives a working time of 4~10 hours. For ECO and L mode the page says an empty fridge may refrigerate for about 10 hours and freeze for about 5 hours, depending on set temperature, mode, ambient temperature and the number of items inside. These are the store's figures.
Which fridges does the battery fit?
The page names the Bodega TWW/TAW/RTW/WD/P series and other 12V portable refrigerators with a hole shape like this removable battery. It gives no dimensions or model list for other brands.
Where does Bodega Cooler ship and how fast?
Free standard shipping covers mainland US from warehouses in the US, with 1 business day of processing; no PO, APO or FPO addresses. Some products can go to Canada, Germany, Italy (+$35, 8 to 15 business days) and the UK (+$60), but the FAQ lists fewer destinations, so check the product before ordering abroad.
What is the return window?
30 days from purchase for an unused, uninstalled product in its original packaging, after an email to [email protected] for a return authorization. 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.

What we couldn’t verify
- The page says the charging input power should be higher than the fridge's working power (about 40-50w) and also recommends a 50W solar panel; it does not reconcile the two.
- The working time (4~10 hours; about 10 hours refrigerating and about 5 hours freezing, empty fridge) and the -4F to 168F operating range are the store's figures with no method or source.
- Fit outside the named Bodega series rests on 'a hole shape like this Removable Battery', with no dimensions. The page says the old model came with a charger and the new one has none, without saying how to tell them apart.
- The refund policy gives the refund time as 3 to 7 business days in one place and up to 7 in another, while the FAQ says 1 to 3.
- The warranty page says 2 years and also 1 year extended to 2 by registering; 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.
- This page says orders are processed within 1-3 business days and delivered in 3 to 7, while the shipping page says 1 business day to process.
- No independent test of this model was found in the web searches made on 21 October 2026, and the page's own copy is the only source for its figures.
- Some options showed as out of stock when the page was read on 21 October 2026.
