Battery-Powered, All-Electric Cooling
Runs on 12V/24V/48V battery power;
No gasoline, no generator – simply connect to a 12–48V battery or solar array. This makes it ideal for van life, camping, RVs, trucks, and off-grid vehicles.
RIGID AC has “completely electrical power”, meaning no fuel consumption and minimal maintenance. Compared to engine-driven A/C or engine idling, it slashes fuel costs and pollution.

Powerful Cooling
Despite its size, RIGID’s micro-compressor technology delivers true air conditioning. A twin-cylinder brushless DC compressor (miniature BLDC rotary type) provides up to 700W (≈2,400 Btu) of cold air. In practical terms, it can drop the air temperature to ~3–30°C (37–86°F) in a small cabin. Tests show it uses only 150–200W input for 450–500W cooling (a COP around 2.5 ~ 3.0)

Remote Control & Drainage
Every unit includes a smart remote controller. Use it to adjust fan speed (5-speed blower), set the desired temperature (3–30°C range), or switch modes from up to 10 meters away. The panel even displays the current temperature. For condensate management, a built-in drain hose is supplied; you simply aim it to a drain and let gravity do the work. No ice or water tank to empty – continuous, hassle-free cooling.

Not just a camping cooler – the RIGID Portable AC is used wherever compact cooling matters. Install it in a van conversion, truck cab, golf course vehicle, or beachside RV. Its versatile power input (runs on 12–48V DC) and light weight mean it goes where larger ACs can’t. RIGID’s official specs list motorhomes, vans, trailers, trucks, battery enclosures, even pet cooling as compatible applications.
Our Core Technology

Micro Brushless DC Compressor
At the heart of the RIGID AC is a miniature brushless DC compressor. This high-speed rotary unit (2-cylinder, 2.8 cc displacement) weighs only ~1.8 kg in its DC variant, unlike traditional 8–12 kg reciprocating compressors. The result is true portability with industrial-grade performance. The patent twin-cylinder design ensures a high cooling capacity in a compact package.
Custom-Fitted Heat Exchangers
All internal components (evaporator, condenser, fans, ductwork) are custom-engineered and tightly integrated. By molding each part to fit the exact shape needed, RIGID achieves an extremely small footprint without sacrificing airflow or heat transfer. Think of it as a thermal “origami” design – powerful cooling, but as small as a carry-on bag. This CoreFit-style construction is key to the unit’s portability.
Intelligent Drainage
The unit features a built-in condensate management system. Excess moisture from the air is channeled through the provided drainage hose and exits by gravity. Because there’s no internal reservoir or ice pack, you never have to stop and empty water. Cooling remains uninterrupted, even in very humid conditions – an important plus for outdoor or automotive use.
Convenient Control
The included wireless remote mirrors the unit’s control panel. It lets you power on/off and adjust settings (temperature, fan speed, mode) from afar. The crisp backlit LCD displays real-time status (set temp, current temp, fan mode). This makes operation simple, whether the AC is mounted in a campervan ceiling or just sitting by your tent.
Proven Performance & Praise

Every RIGID Portable AC is built on over a decade of micro-cooling expertise. Founded in 2010, RIGID has led the industry in miniature refrigeration systems.
Today our compact cooling solutions (used by major OEMs and startups alike) are found in 118+ countries worldwide, from desert rallies to race pits. Customers consistently praise the RIGID AC’s reliability and ease of use. Long-haul drivers and pilots report that it’s “one of the best things to come along” for summer comfort, providing cabin cooling without tapping into the vehicle’s engine. RV and overland campers call it a “plug-and-play blessing” for staying cool off-grid. (Many have sold their old bulky units after seeing how much more convenient and effective RIGID’s design is.)
In short, the RIGID Battery-Operated Portable Air Conditioner delivers powerful cooling in a truly portable package. It’s quiet, efficient, and battery-ready – perfect for anyone who needs climate control anywhere from camping and boating to trucks and trailers.
Testimonials

“Camping at 10,000 ft on a warm summer night used to mean sleepless misery – until I brought along the RIGID Portable AC. It’s travel-bag-sized and only 11 kg, so carrying it into the wilderness was easy. I ran it on our 12V battery bank and the little micro-compressor kicked in fast, cooling our tent by 10 °F in minutes. It even has a drainage hose so no water puddles on the floor.”
“As a full-time #Vanlife traveler, I needed a portable DC air conditioner I could trust. The RIGID LC2810E-AC PRO blew me away – it packs 700 W (2,387 Btu) of cooling into a unit the size of my backpack. At just 11 kg, it’s easy to move between the van and my roof-top tent. The five-speed fan and included remote control make dialing in comfort a breeze.”
“I tow a travel trailer across the Southwest, and the RIGID Portable AC (12 V) has been a game-changer. It’s essentially a compact 500–700 W air conditioner that runs on my trailer’s battery – no power pedestal needed. Plug-and-play design means I just set up the exhaust hose and remote control, and instantly get home-level cooling without ballooning my power use.”
“As an over-the-road trucker, I was skeptical that a battery-operated portable air conditioner could cool my sleeper cab. The LC2810E-AC PRO proved me wrong. It hooks to my 12 V and 24 V outlets and instantly blasts a cold breeze. Running on about 240 W, it’s far more efficient than idling the engine, yet still delivers 700 W of cooling. At 11 kg it’s light enough to move around the cab, and the smart remote lets me adjust settings without even getting out of bed.”
“I mounted the RIGID portable DC A/C unit in my 20-foot fishing boat and it’s been perfect for hot summer trips. It runs off a 12 V marine battery, so I don’t need shore power. We just pointed the exhaust overboard and used the included remote – instant relief from the cabin heat. It’s small-footprint but powerful, comparable to a much larger system.”
“We even tried the RIGID DC A/C on our 4-seater golf cart at the country club – and it’s wildly effective. The whole unit is super compact (barely fills half a small cooler) yet it throws cold air across the seats. At only ~11 kg, it didn’t upset the cart’s balance. Now the club pro jokes we have the first air-conditioned golf cart, all powered off a battery!”
“During a heatwave blackout, we used the RIGID battery-operated A/C as an emergency bedroom cooler. It’s not whole-house A/C, but running at about 500 W it quietly dropped our bedroom by 8–10 °C in 10 minutes. The 5-speed fan and included remote control meant I could tweak comfort from bed. It saved us from waking up in a sauna when nothing else worked.”
“My elderly dog loves sunning on the porch, so I set the RIGID Portable AC (12 V) up for her outdoors. It’s gentle and quiet (more purr than roar), and keeps her dog bed cool on our hot afternoons. No fumes or cords to worry about – just a battery pack. And bonus: the automatic drainage keeps the patio dry, so there’s no mess from condensate.”

If your battery outputs 12V: At least 250W power, and close to 21A peak current is required from your battery.
If your battery outputs 24V: Its maximum power is about 210W, and the corresponding maximum current is about 9A.

If the power supply is 110 / 220V AC output, you can use an adapter to connect to DC supply power.
6. What are dimensions and weight?
Net weight: 11Kg / 24lbs
Dimension: 585x255x245mm / 23x10x9.6 inch
7. Does it come with a window exhaust attachment for that exhaust hose?
Yes, it contains a window exhaust attachment. Better heat exhausting brings you better cooling performance.
8. What parts & components included?
1pc x remote controller; 1pc x power cord; 1pc x drainage tube; 1pc x exhaust vent; 1pc x cold air vent.
9. How's the Portable Air Conditioner work cycle?
RIGID Portable Air Conditioner adopts brushless rotary dc compressor by using R134A refrigerant. The compressor itself has 10 years lifelong. There are no adjustments or maintenance for normal operation for at least 5 years.
10. Do I have to install venting hose?
It is not a must as the portable air conditioner contains two large vents. One is for cold air outlet, the other vent is for exhausting, which takes in fresh air, and then the air passes through the condenser and takes its heat away through another hose. Of course, when it is a confined and compact space, the best way to cool down space is to connect the two hoses and separate them slightly out of the window or outside the door.

You may need some DIY when installing the hose, and we will also provide some accessories (optional).
It should be noted that the air brought in by one of the hoses passes through the condenser and then goes out of the machine through another hose. There is no fresh air brought into the cabin by the machine. Therefore, when you are resting in the cabin, please do not keep the space completely sealed.
11. Does it come with a drainage tube for condensation?
The answer is YES. RIGID Portable Air Conditioner, can work as a dehumidifier, turns the gaseous water in the air into liquid. You can connect the water pipe that comes with the unit to drain the water to a collector/bottle or directly to the ground.

It is recommended to raise the front of the air conditioner slightly when using it, and fix it well to prevent rollover. However, you don't have to worry too much about the product being damaged, because the internal circuit is processed to be waterproof.
12. Why use 24V instead of 12V?
If the cooling power is the same, using a 24V compressor and 24V drive circuit will produce less current, which will produce less heat, reduce the waste of power, improve the efficiency of the whole system, and extend the battery life.
13. What's the noise level?
The Sound Level of this Portable Air Conditioner is 48dB (A). It is pretty quiet because of choosing a twin-cylinder miniature compressor.
14. Size of the aperture of the intake and exhaust pipe?
The outer diameter of the intake and exhaust hoses is 5.91inch / 150mm.
15. Can I use this Portable Air Conditioner in a boat?
RIGID Portable Air Conditioners work like car air conditioners, but we enhanced them so they can cool you in a small cabin on a boat due to improvements in structure, size, power supply, noise reduction, and portability.

If you plan to use this on a boat, we should consider the size of the space to be cooled, the sun exposure, whether there are windows or doors where the venting hose can be mounted, drainage issues, and the power supply.
16. What else do I need?
You only need to prepare a battery, which stores energy and provides enough dc power supply.
17. What happens to the moisture in the air or condensate water?
Many people are concerned about where the water goes. Well, the portable air conditioner has a condensate drainage tube.

Since the dc air conditioners pull moisture as well as heat out of the air, RIGID small aircon units have self-evaporative technology. This innovative technology internally processes and evaporates the collected moisture and then exhausts it out of the back of the unit.

In climates that are extra humid, some water will be collected in a reservoir located at the bottom of the a/c. So condensate water can be drained by a pipe. In this case, you can either manually empty the reservoir when it is full or use the integrated gravity drain.
18. Can I use the portable air conditioner to cool my server room?
Yes. It also can apply to compact and confined space cooling, this is an excellent use for a portable dc air conditioner. Even with central air, computer server rooms have more robust cooling needs than other parts of the building tend to require. Our small dc aircon works well to boost the cooling in a server room.
19. Does RIGID portable air conditioner have heating function?
At present, it only has a single function - Cooling. RIGID R&D team is developing PRO version one. Sure in a short time our portable air conditioner has both functions of heating and cooling.
20. Can I become a dealer?
We are open to discussing distributors. Yes, we work with compressors and HVAC companies in the USA and around the world.
