I currently have my T/C unloaded and sitting in my yard with a full cover on it. I have it plugged in to a/c. If I unplug it, the carbon monoxide detector will run the battery down in about 10 days ...

If I unplug it, the carbon monoxide detector will run the battery down in about 10 days to two weeks. Then the detector starts beeping low power supply.


Normally I let my solar keep the batteries topped off. But when I winterize I pull a tarp over the camper then pull the DC fuses so loads like the CO/LPG detector aren't draining the battery.
