Spyderdock power draw

[Brentc]

Added my new Lamonster Garage Spyderdock a week ago and ran the power directly from the battery with the in line fuse. My question, hopefully Lamont can chime in, is that I notice there is a tiny blue led on the dock that I am assuming signifies power to the unit. Is there any significant power drain from that? If I were to leave the bike for a couple of weeks without using the tender, am I in jeopardy of draining battery?

On on a side note, man I love how clean and functional this new dock is. 10x better than the handlebar ram mount and wires I had running up handlebars previously.

will be an excellent addition for the Spyderfest trip.

There's very little draw from that led. You should be fine.

I could not find the draw for that style of led. So I made an aggressive guess I think on the high side of 0.2 watts. That is a draw of 17 milliamps. The battery is rated at 21 AH. So I calculate it will drain the battery half way down in 630 hrs or 26 days.

Thank you both

Thank you Lamont, and Billy! I can definitely live with 26 days, lol.

Ps - Loving the iPad mini on the spyderdock, what a GPS!
