Yes, the COMPANION Rover Li 40 can be charged via a 12-volt DC charger (14V 5A), and it supports simultaneous use of outputs, including the Anderson output. However, the total maximum DC output is limited to 10A (140W combined). If the combined power draw of the fridge and charging input stays within these limits, it can operate both functions at the same time.
