I use one in my garage and one in my storage building. Please give some feedback. The Crossfire has such a touchy electrical system and I also set my alarm which drains the battery over time. I assume those that disconnect their batteries do not have a security system?
I think that the worry is that however little the chance of a fire is it could happen and obviously when something can happen it will happen one day. Also should the system that turns off the current fail then the battery could be cooked.
