  8. Chargers contain things like transformers, that create a small draw even when not charging. Manufacturers have been told to get this draw lower that 1 watt for "green" purposes. That's still a drain on the battery though. That's why we wire to switched live.
     
  9. Don't mean to be quite so pedantic, but the "one watt initiative" was turned into 0.5 watt in 2013 :bucktooth:

  10. As to the panels, I normally do a complete panel off in the early spring to remove the crud from the winter, preparing for the summer but also allows me to look at the wiring connectors and apply acf 50.

  11. Or you could use a map they don't drain the battery.
     
  12. Not the bike's anyway :sleeping:

  15. Yeah, mine will get all that treatment when Satan goes to work on ice skates !! :upyeah::upyeah:
     
  16. I think you should start this thread again. How do i connect sat nav, Oh theres a little white plug to the left under fairing panel that Ducati kindly put there. Oh thanks for that. End. By the way the Garmin zumo, when you sw off ignition goes to sleep after 15 seconds. Let it or if you switch it off yourself you may loose the destination. When you put ign back on just agree to terms on screen & ride off. Back to destination. My mate kept switching his off & lost everything each time.
