Dunno. Could be all that stuff, really. All these new low-voltage
electronic things are a lot more sensitive to wild swings in voltage,
I guess. I know a lot of newer regulators are using smaller ICs
instead of the giant wads of silicon of yesteryear, so they might be
more touchy as well. I've never been able to get a definitive answer
on the whys of not disconnecting the battery beyond the citation of
voltage instability.
