You. Bet electronics draw power and no way to charge battery in storage.?
I would disconnect the battery someway or your going to have to replace the battery if you kill it dead to many times

yes to the shut off switch. in the meantime , just unhook one terminal of the battery when stored.

There are several on the market and can get expensive. I bought a marine cutoff from the local boat store. Pretty simple to install and it was only about 25.00.

I kept coming back to a dead battery as well. I installed a switch to the back of the box and haven't had the problem since.
