Since I installed my switch, it has sat for periods of 14 days without starting and I haven't had a dead battery since.
once a batt goes really dead its done. Its living on borrowed time especially a fry cell. These are great but must stay at 50 % charge for max durability. I have had 2 2400 watt kinetic killed with these effin lights. I just ordered another batt. I will be doin a 2 batt with isolator mod soon. Soon I will have one batt dedicated to starting no matter what. Worst of all in my case the batts are buried in the trunk and are hard to access because of amp, molding etc. The next best option is to tender the batt between down times...but I dont have a garage now. So that is no good. Lastly if any one is using a trickle charger beware. It must be digital or you might over charge the batt in an extended time period, and thus, effectively damage it.
