Default RE: Need help with "redundant" wiring system.

Fromeco states that the badger failsafe switch's current draw isn't enough to warrant unplugging a battery. From their knowledge base:

Nominal current draw on an "off" badger switch is 21uA, which is comparable in magnitude with the self-discharge rate of the pack (1/2mA-h per day). It can be used in the same way as a mechanical switch, because this draw is so minimal.
