Progressive Dynamics 9260 possible issue
Hoping to solicit a bit of advice from the gurus here. I recently installed a PD 9260 and it seems to do a much better job charging my (2) Trojan T105 batteries. The only issue is, the converter ...

I'm trying to understand your measurement: 0.3amps/20 W.
Are both measurements from the Kill-A-Watt?
0.3A * 120V = 36W; not 20W.
Is the difference in wattage due to the power factor? Is the power factor 20W/36W = 0.55 (at no load)?
What does the electric company charge you; 20W or 36W rate?bigfootford wrote:
Only thing running is my CO and LP sensors...
.3 amps/20watts...=480watts a day. So every 2 days or so a Kw is used.
I took the national average for KWH charge which is about $.122 and rounded it to .12.
My average is about .13.
The PF reading on my Kwmeter reads in the .56- .58 range.
Reconnected the meter and let things set a bit..
Watts vary between 15-20
Voltage varries a bit 117-120...
Amps varried a bit... .19 - .26
The source of AC is from the main to our pool pumps, then 10 ga for 40 ft and a 20ft 12 ga extension. So this is not a perfect source of AC...
