//Parasitic// (or //vampire//) loads are tiny, continuous loads that can deplete the bank's state of charge. The classical example is a device like a USB outlet that uses power internally whether or not anything is plugged into it. | //Parasitic// (or //vampire//) loads are tiny, continuous loads that can deplete the bank's state of charge. The classical example is a device like a USB outlet that uses power internally whether or not anything is plugged into it. Some [[electrical:inverter|inverters]], [[electrical:solar:charge_controller|solar charge controllers]], and voltage-sensing [[electrical:12v:alternator|isolators]] can have significant parasitic draws. |
