Has anyone purchased the Ryobi fridge? Bunnings sell them (along with pet stuff).
It will run 12/24/240 volt and also on your 18volt power tool battery-very handy for those with Ryobi gear?

kind of cool. Looks very large for 23L capacity though and expensive at $600, but it does come with 2 x 4Ah batteries and a charger.
I wonder if the batteries charge inside the fridge?? it'd suck if they don't. The charger you get is 240V only I think, so you couldn't even use it to charge up batteries in the car.
I don't think I'd be a buyer, even if I had ryobi batteries, because I think there's better options.
I've used my jump start pack to power my fridge for a few hours. works really well, but isn't a neat self contained solution. It's 2 things I already have tough so good enough for the rare times I need a fridge on battery
If buying a fridge specifically with the intent of using on battery then I'd get one from reputable fridge manufacturers that have a battery option. They're quite common now and the batteries would be better integrated so take up less space, and they should charge when fridge is connected to 12V.
