Turning the Inverter Off Between Charges

The inverter draws less than 600 mA from the battery with the On/Off
switch turned on and no load connected, but left in this state the inverter
will eventually discharge the battery.

To prevent unnecessary battery discharge, turn the inverter off when you

are not using it.
