Hi Eric

The problem wasn't the current drain, but the voltage drop as the battery went from being fresh off charging at around 12.8V to a lower state as the night went on - under 12.5V.

The other items do consume power (usual suspects - dew heaters, netbook), but this reduces the overall time available from the batteries.

Company7 does recommend the higher voltage, and it has solved the problem. If it reoccurs, I will look at the tightness you suggest.

Thanks
