A list of the Totalpower 260 Portable Power Bank's key specifications
We bought this Totalpower 260 as part of a bundle with the Totalfreeze 45 and Totalsolar 100. We found that the 260 would charge, on its own, on a sunny day in about 4 hours by the solar 100 which I thought very impressive. The wonderful thing is you can charge this pack AND run the totalfreeze 45 fridge during the day AND gain enough charge to run the fridge throughout the night and keep going the next day again back on solar and charging. This is a game changer in being off grid. If you have sun or even some cloud it keeps on going. I tested this myself but there are caveats to observe in my tests, one is I ran the fridge set to 4c, I have not tried it in freezer mode (say-18c) as we don't want that and would take more power to maintain such a low temperature no doubt, we just needed a reliable 4c or thereabout for our food stuff whilst camping off grid for days on end. I connected the solar panel to the 100 watt USB-C port input of the 260 to ensure as much power was supplied as possible by the solar 100 to the 260, especially when the totalfreeze 45 compressor wasn't running due to being at the pre-set temperature I programmed, it being at a minimum fridge power drain. Additionally, you need to ensure the 260 power pack doesn't get too hot! I found that when we had a very hot day (32c) and having the battery in the solar 100 zipper pouch it was tight against the panel and after a couple of hours got too hot and shut itself down. (no doubt a fail safe feature) This stopped the supply to the fridge and was obviously not acceptable. I re-tested the set up the next day with the 260 out on the ground within shade and all was well. I am sure in more normal daytime temperatures this overheating issue wouldn't arise and you could stay panel pouch mounted. There is warning about overheating in the instructions and something to be mindful of in your particular camping set up.
I have not been able to verify the power packs claimed 252 watt, 14Ah power delivery capability but have no reason to doubt the quoted figures.
Fridge supply (the 12 Volt cigar lighter socket is used for this) ;- Low power drain by an electric fridge is absolutely crucial and from what I have seen in the general marketplace, 30-40 watts of drain by a compressor fridge (Totalfreeze 35, 45 & 55) is exceptional in the marketplace. At 12 volts 40 watts equals 3.33 Amperes, at 30 watts it would be 2.5 Amperes. This is about as low as you could expect to achieve using a compressor. 50, 60 watts or more being quoted by other makers in sometimes cheaper units might not sound like too much more but it is critical when you are trying to run off grid on a one battery and one solar panel arrangement, Totalcool seem to me to have the lowest power consumption in the marketplace. One last point, the 260 comes with a USB-C to USB-C charging lead only, you don't get a mains charging adaptor. If you wish to charge it without using a solar panel and try to use a standard phone charger you will NOT get enough current to charge it in a sensible time frame, if at all. It might take days and days. If you wish to charge in a reasonable time buy a 20 watt or more PD (power delivery) USB-C capable charger. All in all I am very impressed with Totalcool, their products and service.
great bit of kit works well
Lovely item ideal when travelling.
A priori il devrait fonctionner. Je trouve que la charge est longue. De fait j'apprécierais presque mieux les anciens power totalcool. Mais c'est une affaire de besoin. Je verrai mieuxaprèsune utilisation
Really happy with the customer service.
Disappointed that I was unable to charge it with out purchasing a special plug !

Total cool great with this heat.
I moved up from a 35litre to TF-Xtreme 50 litre. I like the fact I can independently choice individual temperature for each compartment. Currently using the large area as a freezer and the smaller as a fridge. Once the food has be transferred to our camp, it will be come a wine and beer fridge. I have a solar powered Totalcool 500 power bank as addition belt and braces supply, which should run the unit between 30-50 hours depending on usage. I can recommend this unit. The staff are friendly and helpful with a professional attitude.Pleased.
Love it - Takes everything i need and takes up no more space than the coolbox and two coolbags I was trying to use previously.
I bought this as I realised I didn't have a coolbag, about a week before my trip. It was chosen as an alternative to an expensive US brand and I was impressed at its ability to maintain ice for 48hrs and keep a variety of food and drinks cool at the same time. A satisfactory capacity for 2 adults and 2 children and very portable. I'll probably buy a smaller one to keep in the car.
Wanted something for field charging my lipos for electric models. This is absolutely perfect for the job and very well made.
Perfect replacement after the lead stopped working. Absolutely brilliant customer service
⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
Amazing piece of kit !!! I use it all the time. Love it
I brought this as a bundle with the TP 600 power bank and glad I did it means being self contained off grid and not worrying about power and works very well.
I love this you can either use the app on your phone or use the buttons on it plus the digital screen so you can set the temperatures separately for the fridge and freezer or set the temperature for using both at the same time. It’s very well made I’m glad I got this and the lid has two separate holders for you drinks.
I have tried this out it’s amazing and came with solar panel 200 as a package I used it with the TF-Xtreme 50 portable fridge freezer and works very well I also like you can charge this unit at home with the AC mains and it doesn’t take to long to charge up meaning if the weather is not good enough or you don’t have a solar panel you can still use it.
Although I haven't used it yet it will be ideal to charge my electric bike when camping off grid.
So far so good !!! Just back from week long camping holiday and the TF-Xtreme was a game changer. Without campsite freezer availability to refreeze blocks we normally used bagged ice and end up with cheese floating at the bottom of the cooler !! The separate compartments for fridge / freezer maintained perfect temperatures. A great addition to our camping equipment.
Great product also fantastic customer service
Just returned from a week camping in the Gower and trying out the fridge for the first time. I am very impressed with the build quality and functionality. It’s the perfect size for a family of four. I love the app and being able to quickly control the temperature of both compartments so that one was set up as a freezer and the other larger one set up as a fridge. One of my concerns was how noisy it would be but I needn’t have worried as it runs reasonably quietly coming on and off regularly as fridges do. It didn’t disturb us at night whilst we slept close to it. The cables it comes with are a useful length especially the 12V which we had plugged into the cigarette lighter by the front seats and the cable easily reach the boot (Landrover Discovery) for us to have the fridge loaded and running for the four hour journey. The build quality is good and I liked the carrying handles for easy movement, either on your own or with two people. I would highly recommend this fridge if you’re looking for a rugged camping fridge/freezer. My next purchase from Total Cool will be a solar panel so that we can go completely off grid and run it.
