current draw when idle

[jpeake]

I am looking to optimize my 12V battery usage, and found that my trailer is drawing 0.2 amps at rest. Doesn't sound like much, but 4.8Ah/day adds up.

I see the Jensen stereo (clock and backlight) is running all the time. i am gonna pull the fuse and see how much that saves.

Most of the draw is probably the smoke and CO detectors...

I pull my fuse after each trip......

Happy Memorial Day camping to all.......

This year I just put in a battery shut off switch and have not had a problem with the battery going dead anymore . Or you can just pull the inline fuse and save some money .

Battery tender.....low amps and shuts off when charged.

I found that the thermostat has a standby current flow.
I disconnected the battery and it would not work
I found that pulling the fuse and putting it back will reset the thermostat
I had added a 2nd battery and that caused it to not work.
