No big deal I guess but I have noticed that the number of power cycles of my ALP stats show a cycle every time the car is started, even if the ALP controller is turned off. The fuse is on/off with key, and I use Controller to power on/off the unit.

I do not always have my unit turned on: short trips, moving auto in/out of garage if washing, stopping to get gas 1 block from work, going shopping store to store, etc. I figured the less "boot-ups" and general use the longer the life less chance of a "bug", plus it may not even finish a boot-up before it is turned off again.

Maybe my thoughts and actions are pointless if it is getting power at every engine start anyway (but not turned on). I didn't want to put an additional switch to kill power instead of just turning control unit off.

The stats make it appear it is being used a lot more than it actually is.


Thoughts....?
