What is draining my batteries?
I had another thought. If your toilet is air operated as is mine, the slightest
leak would cause the 12v air compressor to cycle unless it is shut off. My shut off switch in on a bracket on top of the air tank that services the toilet. Disregard if your toilet is different.

Thanks all for the replies. Lots of excellent suggestions and I'm going through them now. I'd like to "clean this up" for good if at all possible rather than patch it, as I want to be able to boondock without the batteries dying so quickly. So, I can run an extension cord for the chargers for now (good idea there), but I still need to clean up the phantom loads. Replying to some questions & comments: Leroy: > You indicated you set your fridge to run off of AC or gas. If you have an inverter, are > you certain the fridge is not running off the inverter? Yup. Inverter is turned off. Fridge is running on gas - verified. LP gas detector is on, however - gas won't flow with it off. Perhaps that is draining the batteries? I'd be surprised if it pulled that much current, though. Curt: > After installing the EMS system, I'm finding a fantom load of 3 amp as I > watch the EMS system digital read out. How does that monitor the 12 volt side?? I looked at the docs and it looked like just a high voltage unit to me. Or do you have some other monitor for the low voltage? -Ryan [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] [Non-text portions of this message have been removed] |
