That's correct. But if you are not connected to shore power and not needing the inverter, or any 12v appliance, leaving the Tripplite in Auto will deplete the battery in 6 hours.

And I can attest to that. Had to replace my 15 amp gfi with 30 amp RV set up even after trying a 20 amp gfi. However lots of Inverters have this problem so Tripplite is not the only culprit.
