Also, bear in mind that re-charging the LB (e.g. through a willington split relay) will cost you £££ in diesel each time you run. So best not to let it drain flat.
This is what I'm hoping to do, my dad's going to help meter which are the guilty cables drawing the power and run them through a switch. Will post when we get it done. Should be a nice simple solution if I remember to flick the switch!
