Electric propane switch killing batteries
I have a LTFS. It seems that the electronic switch that turns on the propane kills the batteries overnight. Has anyone had this problem?

Do you have a Saf-T-Alert propane safety valve and sensor. If you turn it off, no current flows, if you leave it on, the solenoid is engaged and draws what would be called a parasitic draw and there is no specific lifetime for the solenoid only for the propane sensor so I doubt that it is drawing more than it did new. I agree with YC1, eight year old batteries should be load tested, I'll bet they won't hold a charge and need replacing.
