240v to 12v transducer

Ray

I think you mean a transformer. I have several for my portable fridges. Jaycar would be a good place to possibly get one. https://www.jaycar.com.au/12vdc-7-5a-switchmode-power-supply-mains-to-cigarette-lighter-socket/p/MP3575

A transducer is an electronic device that converts energy from one form to another. Common examples include microphones, loudspeakers, thermometers, position and pressure sensors, and antenna.

Hi Raymond,

As per Duncan but before you start looking you need to know how much power (Watts) the Fridge will use on 12VDC. This figure maybe given in 'Amp's' which can be high for non compressor Fridges.

I thought Techniice fridges had the capability to directly accept either 240vac or 12vdc.
The following is from their website......

"Power Supply Options:
With our in built 12v / 24v and 240v connections, you can use your fridge / freezer when connected to mains or when mobile in most vehicles including trucks, 4x4’s and boats making it a very versatile option for keeping your product cold. Both connections can be plugged in simultaneously and can interchange depending on the available source."

Or perhaps that is only the current models. Maybe earlier models were 12vdc only?

However, if that is not the case, a good solution is to use a battery charger that has the "SUPPLY" option of a constant 13.6 volt output. This way you would have the benefit of having a multi-stage battery charger as well as a fridge power supply. My Waeco fridge is running at the moment in my workshop from such an arrangement.
A Ctek MXS-10 or -15 is one such charger.
Not the cheapest option however.

Depending on current draw, a cheap option is to use an external power supply from a discarded laptop computer. Some of these provided 12vdc at up to 7 Amps and can be found at secondhand shops, computer repair shops and council recycle depots
