  3. I have not had the battery run out on me yet. It lasts a long time. I believe around 8+ hours.

    Sealing this type of the cooler is one of the top 2 challenges. The other being fitting all components on in the one side.

    I have had a few leaking issues that i have had to resolve. The newest and most productive product i have started using is something very similiar to this bit.ly/Q4XAvr . It is a dual auto/marine sealant adhesive from HOme Depot. Ill write back with the exact product.

  6. Did you cut off the plug and hard wire the wagan tech directly to the switch and battery, or did you use an adapter?

  7. Glad to see people trying out their skills and building cooler radio. It is very true regarding how to properly seal a cooler. I have found that the 3m marine fast cure 5200 works awesome. My only warning to anyone using this product is where ever you put it, it will not come off, and finally, it's expensive. Check out my video on youtube user name Fernando S., good luck.

  8. I need a little more explanation on how the main battery charges. Can you just leave the cooler plugged into your car cigarette lighter and as you drive, shut the car off and on and drive again it charges?
