[QUOTE="condor22, post: 163276, member: 1932"] Rob, Don't worry about the high start current, re AH used. The Glo Pin is only on for about 80 seconds at start up and about 40 seconds at shut down = 2 minutes. The rest of the time, it's self igniting. So if you allow 3 minutes at 10A = 1/20 hour = 0.5AH. Then say up to an hour flat chat at 2.8A = 2.8AH Then say 12 hours at 0.8A = 9.6AH Your total use for 13 hours = approx. 13AH Your only consideration re the Glo Pin is the wire sizing, this is copied from the Dometic instl guide. [i]Cable cross sections for a cable length of: up to 5 m (plus cable + minus cable) = cable cross section 4 mm from 5 to 8 m (plus cable + minus cable) = cable cross section 6 mm[/i] I used 6mm.
