[QUOTE="condor22, post: 422496, member: 1932"] My setup - A fully charged 130AH AGM battery, cigarette lighter socket outlets at a nominal 12VDC and USB power outlets connected to the van battery outputting a nominal 5VDC (some are 1.0 amp some 2.0 amp output) and a BM PRO battery monitor that will give amps used and voltage. Test parameters - The van battery is fully charged, however, the 240VAC charger is OFF and the Solar panels are also OFF. During the test the battery will not be under charge. There will be no other van systems, i.e. TV, lights etc used during the test. The only loads will be the items under charge. When the chargers are turned off the battery is at 13.8VDC, which is Float voltage, so it will be left for a time until it stabilises at its "at rest" voltage of approx 12.9-13.0 volts. [/QUOTE]
