You are right. I forgot about the micro wave clock.
I am sure that will draw something.
Next time I do a test i will unplug it to be sure but I bet that is it.
regardless .25 amp draw is not going to make that much of a difference.
Soooo I am thinking the AGM is not the way to go. That leads me to either going back to two12v deep cycle or two 6V golf cart batteries.
unfortunately I may not have enough compartment height for the 6V.
