Can I leave it plugged at night ? Will it drain the battery ?

I only use mine with an adapter and plug it into a wall socket. I you leave it plugged into your cigarette lighter and the engine isn't running, it will run down the battery. My cigarette lighter doesn't have power unless the car is running, anyway.

It says in the instructions to just precool it for 3 hour's. I don't think that it would be a good idea to leave it running all night. We bought a Ac/dc adapter to get it ready in the house.

I do not know from personal experience the answer and we did not leave it plugged in at night but depending on the temperature in the car the unit holds a cool temperature very well and we often left it for 6 to 8 hours disconnected because I had a borrowed car and was afraid it might draw down the battery. We really liked the unit. It is ideal for a road trip.

If your a truck driver then you can leave it plugged in overnite.. other than that it's like the two others say if your talking about a car

We have left it plugged in to our car for up to 6 hours without losing power for the car. I also have the electrical plug in so I can plug it in overnight at motel rooms. Have never tried it overnight on the car battery. Some cars will shut off the battery after a certain length of time so you would want to check on that before you set out on a trip. Hope that this helps. We have found that if you place a frozen bag of water or ice in the cooler it also helps keep items colder on hot days. I some times double bag it so as to prevent leaks. I don't use the blue ice packs as they take up to much room.

It is possible to leave it on 24/7. The only disadvantage would be a higher power bill as it would continuously draw power. I usually turn it off at night though.

No. It will slowly drain the battery. I have several of these, and store them disconnected.

Hi. I think the light stays on as long as it is plugged in. I don't think it goes out when the device if fully charged, but I could be wrong. To be honest, I never paid attention. It is fairly bright, though. You wouldn't want to charge overnight in a bedroom. I usually plug mine in in the kitchen. Good luck!

Only if you leave a device connected to it. .. At least I have no issues with it draining my truck battery

No, you don't have to unplug it and as long as no devices are plugged in the battery will not drain. Be sure you have the cover closed to protect it from accidental shorts due to water, debris, etc.

You can keep it plugged in all the time and you won't damage it. I think it takes at least 20 hours to fully charge it, after it's been totally drained of it's power.

I left mine charging overnight and it was fine, the battery lasts longer then what I expected.

I was talking with another guy that owns this and he says he plugs it in overnight and has been doing this for 2 years and it has worked great and it's still working for him to this day so I think it's safe to say this can be left plugged in overnight.

I usually plug it in overnight. I think it takes a few hours to charge. It depends on how low the battery is when you charge it.

You can leave it unplugged but the battery last 3 or 4 hour, after that it needs to be plugged so it can charge.

No it will not drain your battery it isnt that powerful But if you're worried about it. Inside the menu you can set it to turn off anywhere between three to ten minutes. Set it to motion detection that way it'll only come on when the car is in motion.
