There is a "parasitic drain" due to the battery management system on any lithium battery system but most have a drain that is not significant relative to the usable amp hours from the battery bank.

The question was only half serious. Requiring 3 amps to support a lion BMS would deplete the practical capacity of a 200 ah battery about 40% over a 24 hour period which is outlandish if that is actually the case. If it is, why would RT be prompted to implement a BMS so power hungry if "most" of the marketed systems have insignificant power drains?

Does anyone know if ARV uses latching power relays in their design?

You are the other recent poster who triggers my troll detector much too often, I will have to listen more often to that detector and simply ignore your musings...

I'm a recent arrival to this forum and want to respect its traditions. But the reason for this vitriol totally eludes me. I'm not interested in tangling with or trolling anybody. I'm here to learn and contribute. So can anyone clarify for me what this guy's problem is?

I deleted it, just continue with the regularly scheduled programming...
