As I sit here waiting for the solar to finish up a absorb cycle so that I can run a equalization cycle I am wondering where the power is going especially over night. I put my booster and Mobley on a USB brick plugged into a killawatt to see it average .2 amps at 120v or roughly 2 amps at 12v. That's 48 amps a day with a fair portion between nightfall and morning. I guess I should be unplugging some stuff overnight, especially with the cloudy weather we have been having.
 
Good idea to unplug as much as possible overnight when not in use.
 
Yes, 2A doesn't seem like much, but if constant over 24hrs

48AH

is a big chunk out of batt storage capacity
 
Copying from Jim's original post doesn't really help him does it ?
