GlobalLink High Power Draw

[er-minio (Emilio)]

My Globallink 520 seems to have a slightly high power draw. I can see it using about 1W (or more) at 12v on my small solar system. It seems high compared to the 20mA absorption indicated in the manual (~0.24W at 12v if I’m correct).

I’ll re-measure this evening.

The relay is open.
Bluetooth is enabled.

Similar issue was discussed in this thread on the old support forum:
https://communityarchive.victronenergy.com/questions/184427/globallink-520-power-comsumption.html

I’m not sure if there were any developments on Victron’s side, or anything to be done by the user?

thanks

Globallink is innocent

I isolated it on the MPPT load connector, and seem the high power draw was actually coming from another device.
Left the system overnight with just the GL connected to it, and there were no measurable power draws.
