[QUOTE="condor22, post: 578376, member: 1932"] Did a check and keeping it simple, lol. Still have not used the 4by since Saturday, now 3 days, ambient temp 20 C. Aux Bat voltage is 12.8 V at rest. Turned the Engel on for 5 minutes (drawas 3.2 amps, but once running drops to 3.0) the voltage dropped fairly quickly to 12.6 V. To show the point that it depends on load, I then turned the Travel Buddy oven on with the Engel still running. Total load approx 9.2 amps, the voltage dropped to 12.4. This shows that the voltage drops more, the higher the load. I ran the oven for 2 minutes and the turned everything off. After less than a minute the voltage recovered to 12.7 V, which I would expect to be the case, from a battery that has had no charge for 3 days. :) [/QUOTE]
