If one has gone on fishing or hunting trip in the swamp and need to bring a drinks cooler along, it is possible that you can keep your drinks cool for several hours. All that is needed is an electric cooler that can be charged using an adapter to plug into your car.
Hot water tank? On a water heater tank there is always a extra black plug in case you need to change your way of installing the pipes to it. The plug on most electric water heaters are opposite of your PRV valve (pressure relief valve) so if your PRV valve is on top then your plug will be on the side and if your PRV is on the side then your plug will be on top of the water heater if its electric.
