[QUOTE="Moseley, post: 526205, member: 20098"] So basically the 240v hookup supplies the separate sockets, and the trickle charger to maintain all the 12v items? I suppose my only query is what happens if the current draw on the 12v side outstrips the trickle charger. For instance, the amps are about 400w RMS, which by no means are as big as I'm sure some people run! So at RMS power they'd be looking at about a 32A draw which is way more than the trickle charger (about 4A from memory). Presumably other people must use equipment that'd draw more than a trickle charger can supply - is it just a case of hoping that you only use these items for a period of time that means the LB drains, but doesn't go completely flat? Making more sense now! [/QUOTE]
