App Telemetry: The invisible "Standby" drain of the AC inverter

If you leave your AC inverter turned on overnight with absolutely nothing plugged into the wall outlets, you might wake up to find your battery has dropped by 10% or more, even though the EcoFlow app proudly displayed "0W" of output all night.

This is not a defective battery. This is the inverter's baseline standby consumption. The hardware requires a constant, steady pull of energy just to keep the internal transformer energized and actively converting DC to 120V AC, ready for a plug.

If you want to conserve your absolute maximum battery capacity during a long blackout, always make sure you physically turn the AC button OFF when you aren't actively running a device.
