When I bought my ARB (which I consider to be just about the best money I ever spent, a lot of 3-5 day trips in the backcountry) I did a 48 hour test in the garage with a yellow top optima. I had over 11.5v after two days without charging the battery. When camping with other rigs I never turn it off, and have started the rig after two days no problem. When solo I turn it off at night though, cuz I'm a girly man! But it is really insulated and if well chilled will go all night w/o power.
As far as rugged, it's been Rubicon tested many times no problemo.
