scroll the chart. If I close the screen, consumption drops to around 0.7A,
quite a contrast to the 5A it draws when powered through the inverter. I
think can live >with a chart plotter that draws an average of 1A.
Another solution is to get a very small inverter, I have 25w, 150w. and
2000w. inverters. The 25w. will run the laptop and it's idle current is
about the same as 2 small LEDs.
There is no sense in using your big inverter for small power requirements,
it isn't very efficient.
