Disappointing Birthday Present

[JustPassinThru_imp]

At the post office did you use the kill switch and leave the ignition (and lights) ON? It's been done before (once by me, for instance). A push start and twelve months down the track my four year old battery is still good.

Cheers

Ugggggg - I'm guilty of the kill switch mistake!

I've caught myself on that one...although once it was about 45 minutes after I committed the offense.

I used to own a Jeep; which meant, of course, that I used to have to buy parts from Off-Road Supply outfits. Sometimes out of necessity; and sometimes...because it's a mental illness.

But anyway. They used to have a switch that could be wired into the battery hot lead, which would kill all power if things dropped below a certain voltage. As in, you're running your winch or using lights to set up camp, and your battery drain becomes close to critical.

I never priced one out because I never figured I needed it. But I wonder if there's a compact model that would fit in the tool tray...?

Anyone want to do some research?
