I’m looking for portable ice B-Kool air-condition.
Just wonder 12v  4-5 amp draws is ok?
My brand new P2008 is on the way so I need to know in advance.

I would say it wouldn't work. You would have to know a lot about your electrical system on how much power is being drawn in the different phases of flight. You for the most part only need the cooler on the ground and when inflight the cockpit really cools off especially at altitude.  On the ground at lower RPMs you make less power because the engine isn't spinning as fast.  You could install a separate alternator for the Rotax needing a LOA which is a whole other topic,  or just do like most and run a separate battery pack for the cooler.  Just as an FYI they don't do much as far as helping with the temps in the summer and i don't think the huge weight penalty is worth the hassle.

FYI Finally I’ve got my A/C it shows 10A at 12v socket.
