What is claimed is: 1. A refrigerator apparatus comprising:a housing with an interior chamber;thermoelectric devices that are thermally coupled to the interior chamber; anddual redundant electronics configured to generate and apply input power to the thermoelectric devices;wherein the dual redundant electronics are configured to apply the input power depending upon an initial strategy of maximizing the lifetime of a substance stored within the interior chamber, the initial strategy being determined based on an operational time expected, temperature ranges specific to the substance, and an initial battery capacity, the dual redundant electronics being configured to operate in a low energy reserve mode under low energy reserve conditions to minimize thermal degradation of the substance, the low energy reserve mode determining the input power as a function of both a measured temperature of the substance and battery energy reserves.
