I recently purchased a small electric cooler for my weekend camping trips. It draws 5.8A constantly (no thermostat) through the 12V cigarette plug. Curious as to how long this could run without the Jeep running. I do have the tow package and AUX switches with the upgraded "650-amp maintenance-free battery with run-down protection".
Seeing some of these posts with others running large coolers for over 24 hrs makes me wonder that my little one could run for much longer.
Also, does the Jeep's "run-down protection" mean it will shut off power to the outlet if the voltage gets too low?
I've attached a link to the cooler:

The coolers have an auto off feature when the voltage drops to a certain level. The jeep does not have the auto power off, believe me it they can kill your battery without the cut off value in 2-3 days normal temps and little more than 24 hrs with high heat
