AC/DC Inverters
I got a replacement battery today under warranty from battery world.
The last battery got run too low over a week in feb because i accidently left the inverter switch on.
So the battery had a full charge, everything else was off, but i came back after a week to find the battery run right down and the inverter switch on.
Im baffled to why this would happen. Solar panel(40watts) has been charging fine. Usually i come to the boat and the battery is full.
I guess my question is about the draw from inverters. It seems they draw alot of power. Sometimes if i have a few things on and turn the inverter on, it beeps as theres not enough power. It tends to tip things over the edge. I really seems to be a drain on the battery, even with nothing plugged into it.
i def need more power in the long run, but for day sails, its only the radio and possibly the fridge for about an hour tops.
