Yup. It's no different to driving whilst drawing current from the battery.

It's just a £26 pound job off fleabay whilst being parked in the garage.
I have the propex on constant in the freeze mode , which will kick in
if the temp falls below 0. The bus is in the garage. If you want the name of it just let me know.
It is running off 240v.

Got one of these myself that I've been using near enough constant for a year on the bus or the car if it's been sat for a while. Has been spot on, but one thing to mention is that they don't kick in on a completely flat battery, they are just there to keep batteries topped up. I think around 10V is the minimum they will accept.

This is the one I have. Works ok and does what needs to be done etc.
