When you turn the power switch off in the unit, does it cut all electrical load on the car battery?

I'm sorry I really don't understand the specific to your question? If I have something plugged into the portable outlet charger, and I am not charging my device. I unplug or take out the entire portable outlet charger all together. To keep it from draining my battery at all. Switch or not. Also there is a red light indicator that will switch on, to let you know the device on your charger is about to drain your battery. Yellow is warning red light you already drained the battery or close to it. Sorry, hope this helps...

My advice is to turn the car on first then turn this on and make sure you turn this off before you turn the car off....

Hi. I am not sure. When I turn off my car everything is off including power.

This is just a load tester it tels you the volts and percentage of the battery. If you are looking for a cut off try a small arduino and prorgam it to shut off.

No, this uses less power than me accidentally leaving my map light on overnight. Most newer cars (especially Japanese makes) will switch the outlet with the ignition.

Yes it does. When you disconnect the charging unit you can operate the on off switch but it will only work when the charge panel is disconnected. Prior to installing mine I used it as a flash light when walking outside on my farm at night. It is very bright in anyone's face. It will stay on as long as there is motion. If it turns off just move it around and it lights back on again no need to use the switch.

I dont believe it does. My car turns all power off to it when I turn the ignition off so has never been an issue for me.

I assume your qeustion is if the product can be left connected while the car is off. I'd say yes, it will turn off I think. Although I haven't tried it. But in case the 12V port inthe car stays on it may drain the car battery since it has a fan that spins when connnected to power.

No it does not. It only powers on when u turn it on and it actually shuts off if you don't use it for a period of time.

If your power source is continuous even after you turn off the ignition, there will still be a power draw. However, it's very minimal. I would think that even if you left it plugged in over night, it probably wouldn't be so detrimental that your car wouldn't start. Over the entire weekend, it might be a different story.However, I don't know for a fact, as my car's cigarette lighter is on a switched fuse, so it stops working when I turn off the ignition. Therefore, it isn't a problem for me.

My unit does because my vehicle plug ins also shut off when I turn the car off. You need to check to see if yours does the same.

This occurrence is generally referred to as "back feeding." When your car turns off the the electronics in your car are cut off from the battery and they start pulling power from a device that is plugged in. While I don't own this product hopefully my clarification of the problem will result in an answer for you.

It depends on the vehicle. My old Dodge Neon would cut power to the lighter when turned off, my Chevy Cavalier does not. I unplug my SiriusXM unit when I turn off the engine.

No it doesn't. You'll need to install an off switch on the input power line to completely turn it off.

The unit has a manual power switch. I have not allowed it to remain powered on to see if the unit powers down on its own, but I'm going to say it does not given the seemingly hard-wired manual switch.- Stephen

Robert the device plugs into your 12 volt adapter or cigarette lighter ...so there is always voltage there after you turn the car off I pull mine out a little so it does not make a connection that's the only way to disconnect from your battery. but there's no problem. I would highly recommend this product I love mine it is totally hands off thru your car speakers. Just like onstar

Assuming your car doesn't send power to the 12v outlet when it is off (and most don't) it won't drain your battery. I left mine plugged in until it died and never had any issues.

Yes, a Trent unit shuts off power to units plugged into it when it itself is plugged in for charging. As soon as power is withdrawn from the Trent unit, it resupplies power to units plugged into it. Guess I've never tried that configuration before, but a quick check confirmed it.
