35 amp draw for static loads????
BTW...static loads are co2 detectors, propane detectors, etc. Stuff left on when you think everything is shut down.
Less than 10Ah usually. Some propane detectors draw 8AH over 24 hours, and some - 2 AH. And when you think that everything is off, the radio on standby still draws something. IMO, rig in storage requires no radio on standby and hardly any detectors - nobody will even hear if it goes off. Lowly underpaid security guy will call the fire truck when he sees the smoke and flame, and this is if he is not sleeping.
Sometimes people forget that LP fridge draws 12V.
Just disconnect the batteries when in storage. Self-discharge for 2*100AH will be under 1 AH a day, and 15W charger will cover this. But if you have either detectors, or radio, or fridge on, then 15W is not enough.
Pianotuna knows what he is doing. If his rig that draws 35 AH with everything off, then there must be something that draws that much and can't be removed.
