I'm doing a power load analysis and I would appreciate it if any-one with a Garmin 696 or 796 can advise me how many amps the device consumes in continuous operation.
I have my 696 on a 1 amp fuse and it's never "blown", did not see a spec on it in the manual.

Just for reference, I had my VPX configured for a 2 amp draw for the 696 and it would trip every time. Setting it to 3 amps (which required a pin reassignment) and will let you know if it was successful. At least now, that circuit can draw up to 5 amps so it will be just a software change if it does not work, as opposed to assigning a different pin.
