Dynamic memory and EEPROM.put

Using Arduino Storage
1

Hi,

I am using struct in my sketch as a global variable. This results in a dynamic memory consumption of, in this case, 210 bytes. (6 x 35byte per struct)

global declaration like this.

#define NameLength 11 

struct StuctTank {
  byte TankType;
  int LevelValue;
  int LevelPercent;
  int CalEmpty;    
  int CalFull;
  float Temp;
  uint8_t TempProbeAddress1[8];
  byte ValveType;
  byte ValveStatus;
  byte ValveTarget;
  char Name[NameLength]; 
};
StuctTank Tank[6];

This works fine for me,
however when i use the EEPROM.put command to store it to the EEPROM i noticed that again the dynamic memory increases with 210 bytes.

Like this:

    EEPROM.put(EEposition, Tank); 
    EEposition+=(sizeof(Tank));

Why is this extra memory necessary? And is there a way to prevent this?

My sketch is getting pretty big and i'm starting to run low on dynamic memory.
Since i am writing over 2000 bytes in total to the EEPROM this way i'm loosing a lot of dynamic memory to this.

can anyone point me into the right direction?
