So did mine. But that cut off switch still leaves a parasitic drain. If you turn that one off, and store it, it will be dead by spring. Mine cuts everything off beyond the normal cut off switch provided. But you have to remember to turn it back on to allow charging from the TV and to assure the break-a-way brake switch operates.
