DAB and battery drain.

As previously mentioned I'd also be interested to know what drain watching TV on the DD has on the battery without the engine running.


So, I can safely park up for 1-2 hours using either mode (DAB/TV) without fear of battery failure?

1-2 hours should be perfectly fine Mick provided the car gets good runs of say 10+ miles to keep the battery charged up.The average current draw will not be more than a few few amps.
