I seen a lot of battery questions but I wasn't able to find out one thing. Sorry if it's been stated and I wasn't able to find it but when at anchor and using the position lights, how long do you think it would take to drain the battery? Thanks!

Just lights.... Days... I ran my stereo full JL upgrade and two amps on stock battery for about 4-5 hours before it died. I have since upgraded batteries but those lights nowadays are leds and hardly draw any power.

Thanks! I know LEDs don't draw much power but I was still curious.

For about $135 you can put in a victron smart shunt, down load the app and do some simple set up steps and you will know exactly how much power remains in your battery.

Unless you have added a second battery I highly recommend getting a jump pack from one of the battery companies. I have an Antigravity one that will start a pick up several times. They are small and lightweight and easy to stow.

Thanks for the information. I've been looking at jump packs just as some added insurance.
