The 12v cool box is really only designed to be used when in transit in your car as it will soon flatten a battery if it's not receiving a charge at the same time.

Best thing you could do, and its a popular topic on here, is to use a standard coolbox with a number of 2 litre bottles of frozen water. I find 3 frozen bottles of water can keep the beer cold for at least a weekend.

If you are able to use electric hook up (EHU) you could get a mains to 12v adaptor for your coolbox.
