   In addition to what Charlie said, letting your battery drain completely is not good for the battery.  It may recharge and be fine, I hope so, but letting this happen doesn't help the life of your battery.

If you can leave the Pod hooked up to 120v when it's in storage, that works great.  Remembering to flip the cutoff switch will work too.

	Yes, that's to be expected. Those two appliances can easily equal a 0.2A load. 0.2A X 24hrs x 14days = 67A-Hrs = dead battery if you have the OEM group 24 battery.

	After just two weeks the battery is completely dead. Only draw is the radio and the CO detector I think. This doesn't seem right. Battery was full when parked. Is this normal? I have a battery disconnect but forgot to switch it off. Battery is only weeks old. 2019 195
