I seem to have come up with an interesting bit of info.

I was going to install an inverter for the laptop. My original plan was to hardwire it to the fuse box so it would be ready.

It is a 500 watt electronic inverter with a digital screen and the flat soft digital button that goes through DC volts, AC amps, AC volts.

But I find even in the "OFF" postition, this inverter is using power, a trickle at best but still putting a small drain on the battery.

Anyone have the same observations???

I will either have to install a switch to open the DC supply or pull the fuse....

Just my observation.
