I just measured the phantom draw of the dc-dc charge converters. It is 9mA. With 2600mah batteries and 8 in parallel = 20800 mAh. So, it would take ~95 days to self discharge a fully charged pack. I think I can live with that. The alternative would be to put in relays to physically disconnect the dc-dc converters when the AC power isn't connected.
