But I developed a randomly self powering radio which destroyed my starting battery over time. It was wired so that You could listen to it without keys. I have not yet researched this issue enough to say whether it would do any kind of self shutdown, and I remember music being on couple of times when entering after work. I noticed this while ago when I was doing some cleaning. I started to wonder who is playing such lousy music so loud that I can here it over the noise of the vacuum cleaner. I was cleaning at the back and had not even been at the front. That thing was not on when I started. After that I have always detached the front panel. No more dead-battery-mondays, but my current battery wont make it through next winter. |
