I have used this use this on my Koolatron Voyager Thermoelectric Cooler P-27 as well as my B & D cooler for quite a few years now with no problems.
This converter is compatible with B&D cooler's, but will also work well with most other coolers and 12V appliances provided they don't have over a 6 amp power draw, " Most are under 6 amp ". This works well for pre cooling your cooler before putting it in your vehicle. It also has a green LED light to let you know it is on.
The Converter will get quite warm when in use this is normal, all converters do it. When you buy a converter make sure it is 6 Amp, much less than that probably won't work on some larger appliances.
NOTE** The photo Amazon is showing is NOT the B&G CV6B converter. Check out my photo on customer image on the product page. ThanxI used this converter to power a Koolatron cooler almost every night for two weeks of a road trip. It kept the cooler working in the hotel rooms. I did notice that it would get fairly warm during the process though, so I took extra pains to set it on smooth surfaces such as a table or on smooth flooring. That extra precautions is why it only received 4 stars instead of 5.

I purchased this to use with a 12V floor jack that is designed to plug into a car's cigarette lighter socket. I needed something with enough current to power the jack which I use to lift my car to change/rotate tires. I use this in my garage plugged into the wall outlet in order to avoid draining the car's battery. This unit gets warm when it's in use but not hot. It has a lot of vents on the case to allow heat out and also a green power LED and very long power cord. If you have a 12V device that can only be plugged into a car's lighter socket, this product will come in handy. One last point, this product could also be used as a general 12V power source which in my case means I could power my DC battery charger with it. It allows me to use my Turnigy Accucel-6 RC battery charger at home through the wall outlet. You will need a lighter plug to banana plug or alligator clip adapter though.This adapter provides the power for their thermoelectric cooler. It does the job adequately and is quite useful for getting the cooler cooled down prior to travel. An excellent product.We used this on and off throughout a 6 month road trip with a 12v Koolatron Cooler. It would get warm, but never "hot". Solid build. Zero complaints.
