	There is a quick and easy way to put the Trace to bed at night to prevent
this, which I described a few months back. If anyone wants to hear it
again, I'll re-post it.

	Not really. My 1800 AH battery bank requires only 1½ amps to stay floated
all day long, the rest goes back into the grid. When the PV's are cranking
out 55 amps, the float current in the battery is negligible by comparison.
