Does an inverter use any power when it’s switched on but there is nothing plugged into it? I’m going to fit a small inverter under the seat to charge 18650 batteries and hand held radios ect.

Ashy, what do you mean 18650 Batteries?

Ashy, Mine and acouple of mates all use power when nothing is plugged in, one uses 4.5amps when no load applied

Changa,it's a 3.7 volt 2400mAh li-ion battery, 18mm in dia and 65mm long used in Cree q5 torches, a very bright led, 220 lumens.

Ashy,

Do I see a flashaholic here?

I use 17670 li-ion batteries on my Surefire G2 Nitrolon and 6P Original.

Both have been modded to use Cree Q5 LED drop in modules. I am using drop in from Dereelight. Guilt free lumens now.........

it will suck a bit of power i believe, if there is a switch on the inverter itself, i would recommend that you turn it off via that

**Sorry for the advertising, I won't mention this again and it's not spam. I just noticed a few guys mentioned they have interest in high powered torches.

If anyone is interested I sell these out of my shop. I'm really impressed with the build quality and the amount of light you get out some of the smaller units. http://www.ledlenserusa.com/
Just PM me with a part number and I'll let you know if it's available in Australia and what sort of $$ you're looking at.

Shrek,

No worries.

Hmmm....... nice lights...... we call them torchlights but the Yanks call them flashlights.

It's always the American English spelling versus the British English.
