I'm not going to stay up past my bedtime to catch it at 100 hours but at 96 hours the kWh = 0.03 which works out to only 0.312W with a load plugged in but idle.
I'm not sure why it's less than I had measured with no load. It is probably a different Appliance Module. I do not recall how I went from kWh & Hrs to watts before - this time I used...

I'll unplug the load and start anew with this same AM.

OK - 97 hours w/o load gets 0.03kWh and, using the same site for converting to watts, I get 0.309W. Given that the kWh were the same for both with and without load I'd conclude there's no difference. The apparent difference of 0.003W is likely due to the Kill-A-Watt only indicating whole hours so there could have been as much as 1 hour and 59 minutes difference between the test durations.

I don't recall when the Kill-A-Watt was introduced but I made the original readings shortly thereafter. I suspect the difference between then and now is due to a newer Appliance Module.

BTW, the AM date sticker is 8B06.
