Yeah, if you drive a lot, no issue. If you, or some else, forget the batteries on when parked and cold, it will be dead quickly--is what I said. It would not be hard to have the engine supply power...

I wonder about the "minimal" amount of power use, as you have to have the inverter on to run the heaters off the batteries, and you have stated you use near 10 amps just sitting, plus whatever the...
