Xt power draw

[raesewell]

I know the power consumption is not listed, I checked the user manual and the interweb myself, I just wondered if anyone had actually measured it for themselves, I might if I get a chance and if I do I will post the results.

Cant remember where I found this, maybe it helps

Very good, thank you. I am just about to wire in a waterproof connector so while I'm in there I might conduct a test of my own to confirm.

Thanks for the link. I have now performed my own test and can concur the draw is 6.97 milliamps, so as near as damn it 0.7 of an amp

I have a mains charger that shows amps supplied, and with my XT on, it was showing 1.6 amps being used through the USB connection. I'd hazard a guess that the bike mount will take a similar amount.

I took my measurements from the bike powered mount and as said it was 0.7 of an amp.

It's a long time that it was explained at school, but to me it makes sense. (0,4 watts difference I neglect)

At 12 V (Battery) it draws 0,7 Amps = 8,4 Watt
At 5 V (USB) it draws 1.6 Amps = 8 Watt

Voltage x Amps = Watts

For my purposes I just needed to know what amperage fuse to use in my Fuzeblock power distribution box, and now I know.

I want to power my Garmin Zumo XT using an Anker power bank. Since it draws 1.6 amps, can I use any Anker power bank that has the blue USB 3.0 port?
