Thanks Condor.

You just made me realize that when it comes to using an inverter I tend to reach for the biggest one I got but the power it consumes is being wasted when I could use my smaller 310w inverter and save power to do the same job,

My laptop peaks out at around 62.3w on AC, But leaving them plugged in is where they chew power also, mine can eat 1.2w in standby mode but if it decides to float the battery they can consume 15/16+ watts and it might do that 2 or 3 times in a 24 hour period for an hour or two, So they can waste about 60w of power just in their sleep mode per 24hrs.
