OK, back to batteries. Last point is if you spend a lot of good money on quality batteries but don't maintain them while your rig is in storage, a lot of $$ could be wasted. Even with the master switch turned off, there is enough drain to flatten them fairly quickly. Without a trickle charger, disconnecting cables is the only sure way to prevent discharge and even then, summer with high humidity will still flatten them in a month or so.
