I use an 85amp that was my main battery before it started to not last as long.
I use it for the HD now and it lasts a week doing 100 accounts

I've ordered one too.  does it still draw from the battery when not in use?  i thought of installing a breaker switch so i can completely cut power off during long jobs and overnight etc.

has anyone done this?

I'm going to order one on Monday so will ask them . If it does I'll be fitting one , I currently do this on my flow controller at the end of the day.

I think any draw of power is minimal. Not even noticeable.

I don't have a breaker switch in between the switch (flow controller) as the only way to really stop all draw from a battery is to disconnect the terminals.
