Hi Mike

Cheers but no I haven't actually measured my consumption as such but all I know is I seem to have plenty of power at hand. I have done two full nights in a row a couple of times now and with everything running ie. NJP mount, laptop, 2 X cameras, 3 X heaters, 3 X fans, am/fm radio, lights on and off at times all running off inverted 240V plus a goto dob for visual through the night running straight from the batteries, the lowest I have seen the battery voltage indicator once off load when I am finished is 12.6V and after a single night they usually read 12.7V or 12.8V ie hardly a dent.

I seem to have more than enough power for my needs

Mike
