Default Anyone tried using a portable 12v cooler in your plane?

I have used these in my car before. The cheap models are built in china, and
are almost to scary to use in my car. The cord wires are usually undersized,
and the connectors are extremely cheap. Bottom line is the wires and
connectors can overheat in normal use. Do you want to trust your life to the
skill of a $2 a day child laborer in his/her 10th straight hour of work.
Sounds like an Apollo 1 scenario waiting to happen.

While cruising through Wal-Mart this evening, I saw a couple of those 12
volt electric coolers designed for use in a car and I started wondering if
anyone has used one in your plane? If so, how good/bad did it work? Any
issues with the plane's electrical system? Was it worth not having to
deal with ice?

Thanks!
