Seriously, why would a kill switch drain the battery? Countless people have used a fuel kill switch (me included) and I have never heard of anyone having it drain the battery.

No. Don't throw the battery. It's going to break open and really, really make a mess. Wear safety glasses if you decide to chunk that sucker.

a kill switch just interupts power to something, like the fuel pump... this doesnt waste power in anyway.....

interupsts power = not a complete circuit there for no drain...

if your batterys going dead then you have a drain from some other circuit or u did something strange.

i have to agre a kill switch works like a light switch that you would use to turn your light on and off... when you have it off you creat a open in the circute and when its on you have .a full flowing circute...why you would even want to connect it to thr battery is behond me.. how i would do it is a kill switch to the EGI fuse ...
