i am in need of help. i want to hard wire a 400 watt power inverter to the battery but im not sure if it will kill the battery. i have heard that even when its switched off it still draws power and will kill the battery. Is this a myth or true? what other options do i have?

some inverters can still place a load on the battery even when switched off(led's and crap) you can solve the problem by adding a seperate switch for just the power source of the inverter. so when you switch that power off the inverter is isolated completely from your battery.
