Newby with yet another issue. Blue is SUCKING electricity our bill $386 a month

[PRWillms@...]

If you are using your 12 v lights the charger should be working somewhat BUT .. Check your batteries. If you have 1 or 2 bad batteries they could be making your charger try to top them and they won't.

Thanks Dru,



I have to learn out to have the signature come on automatically. I spent an hour yesterday trying to figure out HOW to do just that. If anyone knows how to create a permanent signature which automatically tacks on each post... please share...

Then we turned off another breaker that was labled in large red letters, "SURGE"... there are two breakers with those red words on them. They do seem to be an issue here. But now... we also found that the battery charger breaker is pulling HUGE amounts of elec also. We can't leave it off or our batteries will be sucked dry. When those breakers are OFF... the meter runs normally...
