The DayBox Difference

Hours on a Single Charge

Every DayBox ships with a 168.48Wh battery built in. Expect ~12 hours in standard conditions — we've recorded up to 23. Runtime varies with temperature, lid use and mode.

12 hours is a conservative guide. Results may exceed this significantly.

How to get more runtime

Use ECO Mode

Switch to ECO for up to 40% more runtime when rapid cooling isn't needed.

Pre-cool before use

Cool your DayBox at home on AC power so the battery only maintains temperature.

Minimise lid opens

Every lid open lets cold air escape. Get what you need and close it quickly.

Add the Cover

The DayBox Cover adds thick insulation, significantly reducing how hard the compressor works.

Keep it in the shade

Hot ambient temperatures make the compressor work harder. Shade or a cover makes a big difference.

Carry a spare battery

Hot-swap in seconds and double your runtime to 24+ hours without stopping.

Keeping Things Cold
Used to Be a Hassle

Every option had a major compromise. Until now.

The Ice Problem

You need to find somewhere that sells ice, pay for it, haul it to your event. Then it melts — making your food soggy, adding dead weight, and leaving you with a flooded esky you have to clean up. Every time.

The Cooler Bag Problem

Ice packs don't last long enough, need to be remembered, take up half your bag, and barely keep things cold. You have to be organised, and even then — cold drinks by midday are a gamble.

The 12V Fridge Problem

Traditional 12V fridges need a dual-battery system permanently installed in your vehicle — expensive to set up, takes up space year-round, and you can't take it away from your car. Not exactly portable.

"There has to be a better way to keep drinks cold at a beach day."

There is. Meet DayBox.

Power Your Way

DayBox gives you three ways to keep things cold — battery included with every unit.

Included Battery

168.48Wh battery built in. Up to 12 hours, zero cables — slide it in and go.

Included — No Extra Cost

12V / 24V Vehicle

Run off any 12V/24V vehicle socket on the drive, then switch to battery when you arrive.

Cable Included

Wall Outlet (AC)

Plug into any 100–240V wall outlet at home or camp. AC adapter included.

Cable Included

Hours Runtime on a Single Battery

Enough for a full beach day, road trip, or weekend away. No power point. No vehicle. Just cold drinks.

Built Different

Every Detail Matters

DayBox isn't just a fridge. It's built for real life outdoors.

Metal Swing Handle

Not cheap plastic. A solid metal swing handle so you can lift, carry, and swing a fully loaded DayBox one-handed. Secure, strong, and built to last.

Fridge or Freezer

True compressor cooling brings temps down from -20°C to +20°C. Set it as a fridge for drinks or a freezer for ice cream. You decide.

True Compressor

Compressor fridges use refrigerant (R600a) to actively cool — the same technology as your fridge at home. Far superior to thermoelectric coolers.

MAX / ECO Modes

Switch between MAX mode for rapid cooling or ECO mode to extend your battery life. One button. Simple.

Vehicle Battery Protection

Plugged into your car? DayBox monitors voltage and automatically cuts out before draining your vehicle's battery flat.

Smart Memory

DayBox remembers your last temperature setting. Switch it off and back on — it picks up exactly where it left off.

Good Times, Everywhere

Wherever the day takes you — DayBox has it covered.

Beach Days

Ice-cold drinks without ice. No dramas.

Backyard BBQs

From the backyard to the park — move it anywhere.

Road Trips

Run off the vehicle socket on the way, battery when you stop.

Camping

All night runtime. Keep your food fresh at camp.

Frequently Asked Questions

How long does the battery last? +

Under average conditions, DayBox runs for approximately 12 hours on a single charge — enough for a full beach day or long road trip. Runtime varies depending on ambient temperature, how often you open the lid, and whether you use MAX or ECO mode.

Do I need a dual-battery system in my car? +

No. That's the whole point of DayBox. The included battery means you don't need any vehicle modification or dual-battery setup. You can also plug into your car's 12V/24V cigarette socket, but it's completely optional.

Can I use it as a freezer? +

Yes. DayBox can cool down to -20°C using MAX mode. Set your temperature using the + and – buttons on the control panel. It works as both a fridge (above 0°C) and a freezer (below 0°C).

How do I charge the battery? +

Via USB-C (up to 60W input). You can also use the included DC cable to recharge while driving. The battery also functions as a power bank — charge your phone or laptop via the USB-A or USB-C outputs.

What's the difference between the 12L and 18L? +

Capacity. The 12L holds 13 x 375ml cans and weighs 10.35 kg. The 18L holds 19 x 375ml cans and weighs 10.96 kg. Both use the same battery, power options, and feature set.

Is it loud? +

DayBox operates quietly thanks to its compressor design. You'll hear a gentle hum when the compressor is active — similar to a regular household fridge.

Does it come with a warranty? +

Yes — 12 months from purchase. Free shipping on all warranty claims within Australia.

Can I fly with the battery? +

The battery is 168.48Wh. Most airlines permit lithium batteries up to 160Wh in carry-on luggage — please check with your specific airline before flying as regulations vary.

Good Times. Fully Powered.
