NO the OEM's don't care about parasitic drain, due to the simple fact customer, want more gadgets than ever before and don;'t care about the added drain on the battery
the average buyer today wants creature comforts, excessive amounts of gadgets and options, and what it all more than long term reliability IMO !
were living in a disposable mind set era, where folks want NEW all the time and and throw out the basically NEW to get it, and keep making payments to get it
SO< there is no priority on having a solution to battery drain, minus, the battery disconnect switch, that again, MANY OEM's have on there equipment already or have as an option!
as for thrift protection, don't kid yourself, these days crime hit every where
I also live rural on a dead end road, a town with 36 homes only
and we have crime here, never used too, but its here now, like every where else
and more food for thought, having a battery disconnect can also add a lawyer of security to things, MICE as we all know like to chew things like insulation on wires?
having power off to things past the battery, can lower risks of fire or?? from mice chewing on hot wire!
won't stop them from chewing and doing damage, but lowers the fire risks
I'm not pushing you to install one,
just giving you some thoughts on the pro's to having one over not
all things in life have pro's and con's, that we tend to pick what we feel we want or not as well!
