I'd not be remotely worried about the total current draw from that kit.
Unless you already have some significant issues with your charging circuit, or your battery is absolutely on its last legs, then I doubt you'll notice any difference at all. I'm running significantly higher load than that, from a stock setup with a battery that is more than 5 years old and I've not noticed any issues at all. |

Brilliant - that’s the answer I was hoping for!
Thank you. |

The correct answer is NO. I run Pioneer kit and the head unit will draw some milliamps when idle/off (less than 150 milliamps if memory serves me correctly, which is 0.15A) Call it 0.1A and your 75Ah battery will run that for 750hrs which is a month of power. In reality it is probably even less draw than that. I have often left my Defender for 3-4 weeks and had no issues restarting it.
The rest of the equipment you list should all rely on the head unit to switch on so no draw at all unless the head powers up, which should be just when the engine is running and kicking out enough juice to power ancillaries anyway. |
