I have one in my shed which has been unplugged for years. If you mean "and still keep cold", then personally I wouldn't leave it more than 30 minutes, less than that if there are small items in there.

Generally 24 hours is a good bet. Basically leave it as long as you can up to 24 hours without your food going off. Chillbox and ice packs are recommended. Hope this helps
