I had the chassis battery issue as have many. The knife-switch was the fix.

When I installed the switch I took a moment to stick an inline ammeter on the chassis battery to actually measure the parasitic drain. I don't remember the numbers, but they are posted here on the forums somewhere. What I can remember is that the drain is approximately 1 order of magnitude (10 times) what one would expect it to be.

All modern vehicles have a small drain to keep the various computers and clocks alive. Something else (perhaps many somethings) is sucking our batteries down.

Regards,

Randy
