I need to find a way to measure this. My clamp meter only measures min/max, and real time, I believe. There isn't a cumulative option. The meters I bought for cumulative draw have a 100A peak, so I can't use them.

Is that 570 amp seconds you measured? If so, that equates to only 158 mAH (milliamp hours). How did you measure cumulative draw?
