How much power does this unit draw in stand-by just on its own?

I don't know but what I do know is that this strip uses a watch type battery to receive a signal from the remote so I would say only the battery is being used. In my opinion the remote outlets should have no power drainage. The (Always On ) outlets about 2 would be a source of power drainage if they were used. That's my best answer w/o measuring any power from the strip.

110, unit pulls around 12 amps and should be the only thing plugged into outlet,

As far as I know, there is no true "stand-by" mode. The device is either on or off. I've been able to get a full day's usage when on and when off, it can probably could last more than a week's time. I use mine sparingly and find that, at the lower end of usage, I'm only charging it on a weekly basis. Now, I DO turn the device off whenever I'm not using it. So right before I head out, I turn it on (sometimes I forget and turn it on while out) and then I turn it off as soon as I'm back home or in an area that provides free WiFi. My wife uses hers much more often and has the device on during much of the day. By the end of the day, the device is need of charging. Hope this helps.

Once the battery is fully charged, this unit has a standby power consumption of 5.0 watts as measured by me. As well, I plugged a 100-watt incandescent bulb into it and let the UPS fully discharge, taking 67 minutes. While charging a fully discharged battery, this unit pulls 21 watts; as it completes its charge it drops to 5 watts.

There's no indication ligthts. I charge mine five hours on weekends to make sure there's enough power when needed.

I had the same question - so I connect one unit into a WattMeter (measures accumulated power (KWph). Turned the unit on with the remote but nothing plugged into it. It has been running now for 6.5 days and the WattMeter shows that ONLY 0.08kw has been used. Remarkable !!! That works out to 0.012Kw per day or projecting out for a month would be 0.3g9Kw. An excellent product with MANY possible applications!

The power sources is eight double a batteries in the base of the unit. I have had nothing but problems with mine as water supposedly gets into the battery compartment and my unit looses power and shuts down

Sorry, I don't know. I have only used it less than an hour without power. I have never run it until it goes dead.

Am traveling and don't have unit with me, so don't know answer to that question - sorry!

I can't give you an exact amount but the unit must be plugged into a POWERED USB port and not a regular usb port. Therefore, there would be some minimal battery drain. It is well worth it tho, as I can hear "things" from the computer so much better now.

For those needing this also... 2.4 amps on a 12 volt battery is about 30 watts which is pretty efficient for this size of unit. Hope that helps.

No, I draws its power from the mother board. You may be thinking of USB hubs, which often require external power. Hope this helps.

I installed mine recently, and measured the power, but not the current directly. In standby, the KillAWatt shows 0W, and powered it draws 4.7W. This includes a small wall wart PS, with the illuminator attached by a 100' siamese cable. These numbers are close to what gth posted, so I'd rely on his more precise numbers.

The unit must be connected to an external battery. It does not have internal power battery.

The Photive 5-port USB charger draws 0.3W in standby mode (no load connected), according to my EUM-A1 Power Usage Meter Monitor

The unit (plugged into an outlet) would draw some current since it is in a standby mode ready to receive a signal from the remote.

Yes, it will power itself from the adapter when plugged in and from the battery when it is not.
