Ultra Gauge parasitic battery drain?
Just back home from travel for over two weeks. My kill-a-watt shows that the battery has drawn over 5.0 killowatts from the grid since I left. I have heard that the Ultra Gauge, before the latest update, had a parasitic draw. Is that my likely problem or is the explanation something else? Seems like a lot of power for a float charge.
EDIT: that's not 0.5 kwh but 5.0 kwh. Ouch.
