Battery draw testing
Once one of the mods reminded me that I should test my battery disconnect when the converter is inactive (IE - not on power) - I felt a bit better about the battery disconnect.
However, it's pretty obvious that the battery disconnect doesn't disconnect everything.. We've still got the C02 monitor active - I assume that's a safety feature....
Anyway, here are the results:
1) Idle, no lights, nothing on, disconnect switch ON = .5 amps
2) disconnect switch OFF = .04 amps
Whatever that's worth. Long term, if we're starting to store it and not use it for more than a month, I'll probably install a marine hard disconnect the pull the power out of everything.. I keep it covered, so solar isn't an option...
