Even when in storage, battery self-discharge is prolly more important than the draw from a turned-off inverter.

I wouldn't worry about over nite scenarios anyway.

But for longer term storage, you will want a battery tender to handle the self-discharge issue alone and it should also be able to handle the turned-off inverter as well.

Adding another heavy duty switch just for the inverter seems like over-kill.
