This is really quite odd, I have a power meter, once my monitor,pc, phone charger is all switched on it uses around 82 watts of power on average unless i blast out some music or recharge the phone etc etc..
now, i also have a 90amp/h battery 12 volt deep cycle, next to that i have a basic 3.5 amp charger which will charge then float charge to keep it 14.5v, it's a sealed battery btw.
I plug in the 3.5amp 12v charger into the row where the the rest sits, phone, computer, monitor, etc etc, so anyway...
Before 12v charger, 82watts.
I plugin the charger, now the power meter reads 74 watts...
(I thought it was going mad so i repeated the test, 2 different powerboards, both give the same results, i'll even take a video for the non believers lol)
