Making room for new security system I tackled a virtual rats nest of power cords. Wondering how many watts I saved by getting rid of about a half dozen unused devices. Guess the answer is - it depends.

Second Bank/MacGyver Special: 10 165(?) watt BP Solar with Renogy MPPT 40A controller/ and Xantrex C-35 PWM controller/ and Morningstar PWM controller...Cotek 24V PSW inverter....forklift and diesel locomotive batteries
