will this unit/batteries work/survive freezer?

You will want to buy this temperature probe Elertus ELRT-TSEN-01 Wet / Dry Temperature Probe and keep the actual sensor outside the freezer while running the temperature probe into the freezer.

We put the device in freezer right after we bought it in order to test the temperature alert, but the heavy metal door of the refrigerator prevented signal transferring. I believe the device probably will survive the frozen temperature in a freezer, but you probably wouldn't be able to read the temperature because there's no signal. We have been using this device for around a year so far, it works well, so far no issue. Definitely serves the purpose.

I, too, tested the low temperature alert on mine by putting the unit in the freezer. It worked just fine and the WiFi signal was strong enough to get out of the freezer and find its way to my router. I didn't leave the unit in there very long. I think the only way to find out how it will work for long term usage in a freezer is to give it a try. Batteries don't work well at low temps but you can monitor the battery status remotely. Good luck - I hope it works for you.

I baught 3 a year and half ago and I had problem with all 3 , tryed to return them and the company would not except them back . thy didn't last a year for me . I'm an electrician so thy were installed the right way . As far as freezening no my units would not track and thy would go on for no reason all the time . Good luck with yours .

T/here are no specifications in the text. I guess I would not use it in the freezer as I am convinced it would devastate the instrument. Now if you want to keep tabs on humidity and temp in your fridge. I would imagine it would handle that ok.

You have to add the amps each appliance draws (starting amps, not running amps) and make sure it's below the capacity of the unit. I ran 2 chest freezers at once, but never tried to run more at once. If the power fails I'll just run each fridge & freezer for an hour at a time every few hours.

Yes ,get a new battery,they don't have long shelf life Good luck and HAPPY NEW YEAR

We used ours in a RV and it turned on just like a normal freezer. We bought it because we had limited space space and we needed more. If it had run all the time it would have been a major problem it an RV. You can also contact the manufacturer if you really have to confirm this.

I've had mine for one winter and two summers now. I believe their recommendation is to leave the batteries unplugged, but to charge them up once or twice during the winter. I stored mine in an unheated garage, but I doubt it got below freezing in there. My advice is to take the batteries into the house if you have concerns over the winter. I haven't noticed any degradation in power or longevity in mine. Hope it helps.

Hi Lyla, Sorry to hear that. I share a box with my dad and we go through a box (60pc) in about 5months time. We have never got a dud. I have bought the iCellTech from 2 different vendors though. They might let you send the duds back, not sure. Shelf life does make a battery go bad. As a matter of fact, the ones I own are supposed to be good till 2017. imho, they should last longer than what you have experienced.

I have used these - and others from Radio Shack - with about equal runtime results in freezer circulating fans. None are very long-lived at cold/subzero temperatures.

Believe me you won't regret buying one. My freezer would do all kinds of stupid stuff like door light won't work freezer would be extremly cold and won't shut off or compressor wouldnt turn on. Every thing would run fine if I pull the control panel board. Until the next day it would act up... has to be a bad compassitor.

We only have ours hooked up to the freezer, I assume you would need to buy another unit!

If you're also pouring the mixture in pre-chilled, then the machine may be shot. I got my first one of these freezers just before last Christmas. It made two batches just fine and then the freezing mechanism in the base stopped working. Cuisinart replaced the unit (I had to pay shipping both ways) so I'm giving them one more chance as it's a sweet little machine when it works. Good luck.

Havent tried that one yet :P but consumer batteries may have trouble working in sub zero temperatures, probably that is why.

This unit does not use any batterries at all.Make sure if you want cold air you must put ice in the bottom holder.What I do is freeze water just under the measurement of the opening in the shape of a small block and it last longer than ice cubes.it works great, Verry happy with it.

The start up amps and continuous amp draws of your Freezer would be needed to determine if the PW1100-12 inverter would work with this device.True sine wave inverters are the best, but modified sine inverters can run many freezers on the market. Please check with the freezer manufacture to what is best for your model.With True sine wave you can get a GFCI outlet and know that the power will be clean and reliable to your freezer.

Temperature shouldn't have any effect on the operation - mine is exposed to freezing / thawing/freezing/thawing with no issues. I would be more concerned about whether or not the winter light conditions in AK are going to be sufficient to power the batteries.

I installed one on my refrigerator 10 years ago and it is still working. I had a 30 year old whirlpool upright freezer I installed another one on it to fix intermittent compressor start problem. It worked for a few weeks but the freezer compressor failed no fault of the RCO. If properly installed and it don't fix the problem you probably need a new appliance or professional opinion.
