Lowrance plotter? Here\'s how to save power

This might be useful to those sailors running a Lowrance plotter on a single service battery. I've just discovered that if the screen brightness is reduced from full to medium, the power consumption on my 3500C drops from 0.7A to 0.3A. Not of any interest to those with 400Ah battery banks, or closet MoBos I know, but on a 12 hr sailing passage in daylight saves you close on 5Ah if the screen is out of direct sunlight.
