Yolco BCX30 Carbon portable compressor fridge
28 litres, freezing down to -20°C and four ways to power it: the 12/24V socket in your vehicle, 100-240V mains, a 12-50V PV panel or an optional battery. The Yolco BCX30 Carbon is a fridge for the back of a 4x4 or a camper that you set from your phone over Bluetooth.

Use cases
- A weekend off-road: the fridge rides in the load area on the 12V socket, and 28 L holds food and drinks for the whole trip without buying ice.
- A campsite with a hook-up: switch to 100-240V mains through the adapter in the box and check the temperature from your phone without opening the lid.
- A camp away from the vehicle: an optional modular battery (which can also be charged from a PV panel) or an external battery lets you use the fridge away from the car.
- If you want the fridge to have a fixed spot and its own 12V socket in your vehicle, we can set that up at the Szekla4x4 workshop.
The manufacturer quotes the same average runtime on a 173 Wh battery (MAX 4 h 21 min, ECO 6 h 40 min) for the BCX30, BCX40 and BCX50 despite their different capacities. Treat this figure as indicative.
Modular batteries, external batteries and PV panels are not included.
Why choose it
- Full manufacturer spec including dimensions and weight, so you can plan the space in your load area.
- Four ways to power it, including a PV panel and dedicated batteries.
- Phone control and a USB port in the panel.
