I have a Streamlight Survivor with a DC fast charger. The charger has been wired into the vehicle so that its disconnected when the ignition is off. It seems, and a CPF search has repeated, that if the light is on the charger when the ignition is off it will discharge the battery. Currently it is connected to the wires that supply the 12v outlet. I don't want to go through the trouble of wiring the outlet so it is always on- one, because it is a rear socket, and two, because I am worried the car battery will drain with the charger wired to constant power. I read somewhere a diode can be placed somewhere that will solve the problem.
I don't want my light's (or car's) battery to drain while the ignition is off. Anyone have input as to what I should do? The vehicle is a 2011 Toyota 4Runner, so it has a decent battery.
