The optional plug-in battery gives the Glacier power for up to 40 hours, letting it pull double-duty as a hub for charging your phones. With 39-liter capacity, the Glacier has two compartments that can range from 50°F to -13°F each. (You can also combine them into one roomy space.) EcoFlow CEO Bruce Wang says the Glacier’s 120-watt compressor can produce 18 solid ice cubes in only 12 minutes. All this can be monitored and controlled via smartphone app. EcoFlow Glacier: The 200 Best Inventions of 2023 ```json [{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"Article","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2023/6324569/ecoflow-glacier/","mainEntityOfPage":{"@type":"WebPage","@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2023/6324569/ecoflow-glacier/"},"headline":"Keeping Camping Cool","datePublished":"2023-10-24T11:00:35.000Z","dateModified":"2026-03-31T05:11:17.447Z","description":"","url":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2023/6324569/ecoflow-glacier/","keywords":["list","franchise","ecommerce","Magazine","best inventions","Best Inventions 2023"],"thumbnailUrl":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt23bb142af83a2080/698a4194e6e84abf8a2b09f2/best-inventions-2023-ecoflow-glacier.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","author":[{"@type":"Person","name":"Jeff Wilser","jobTitle":null,"url":"https://time.com/author/jeff-wilser/"}],"creator":"Jeff Wilser","articleSection":"","image":[{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://static.time.com/v3/assets/bltea6093859af6183b/blt23bb142af83a2080/698a4194e6e84abf8a2b09f2/best-inventions-2023-ecoflow-glacier.jpg?branch=production&width=1200&quality=75&auto=webp&crop=1200:675&height=675","width":1200,"height":675}],"publisher":{"@type":"Organization","name":"Time","url":"https://time.com/","logo":{"@type":"ImageObject","url":"https://time.com/images/logo.png","width":528,"height":156},"foundingDate":"March 3, 1923","sameAs":["https://www.facebook.com/time","https://www.instagram.com/time/?hl=en","https://twitter.com/time","https://www.pinterest.com/timemagazine"]}},{"@context":"https://schema.org","@type":"BreadcrumbList","itemListElement":[{"@type":"ListItem","position":1,"item":{"@id":"https://time.com/collections/best-inventions-2023/6324569/ecoflow-glacier/","name":"Keeping Camping Cool"}}]}] ```
