 |
|
I understand that the Blueseas ACR draws a small amount of power to do its job but I'm unclear on where/when this draw occurs. When installed per its instructions, does it draw from,
- only the aux battery until it de-combines the aux from the starter battery?
- from the aux until it de-combines THEN draws from the starter battery?
- some other scenario?
Thanks

Ok I'll bite
I'll say the 15 mA draw, when batteries separated, comes from the sense battery. Ie the battery that the sense wire is connected to.
I admit I haven't checked mine to prove this WAG, I'd prefer it to be on the other side, and in my case that would be the auxiliary battery. I have the sense wire connected to the staring battery.
