Garmin 495 Question
 

Does anyone know the current draw for a Garmin 495? I'm making up a dc current load list and can't fine the info on the Garmin site or in the manual.

Thanks,
Gerry Hatch

It uses a 1.5 amp fuse. My guess would be that nominal current draw would be less than 750 mils. I don't think it is significant. Current draw is going to depend on the internal battery voltage. The internal battery is being charged while the unit is powered up.

Thanks, Mel. I appreciate the response.

Mel is right
 

I would have thought that the fuse size would be easier to find on the Garmin website, but it is somewhat hidden... however if you want an official confirmation of Mel's number, I found it on page 143 of the manual, here.
