Title: PHANTOM LOADS

It appears to me we are mis using the English language when applying the term PHANTOM load when discussing battery power loss.
According to Webster, the definition of Phantom includes the line 'something that exists only in the mind; illusion.'
We know from our resident techo Fred that there is a real loss though it is very small, hence the word Phantom used in this context may not be appropriate.

Sorry Guys, couldn't resist the my comment.

Call me dumb but "phantom" seems a fine phrase to me!

David,

Are you referring to the English language or what we Colonials use?
