Is it just me or does 5A sound like a lot of juice for a little cooler

A quick calc puts that at around 60 watts... For reference, a 3
computer fan draws around 0.2A at 12v, or roughly 1 watt. Unless this
cooler fan has a 12 diameter and can provide a 30 mph breeze, I doubt

Peltier effect is basically using electricity to directly move heat from one
side of a plate to another. One side of the cooler (I was typing one handed
on the phone with my last post, that chopper should be cooler... yeesh)

Kurt,
Thanks for the explanation - that makes more sense - as I agree
the fan doesn't look like it could possibly pull that much current.
Guess it makes the price I paid for it worth just that much
more. Works great - but - as you said, draws a lot of juice. Perhaps

You could reduce the load by using precooled food/contents. If it has a
