Hi all, Is it's not supposed to power off, guess I should install a kill switch to the battery? |

I'm thinking it SHOULD power off. Sure you're not the only one who parks his car for more than 2 days!!!
If it doesn't though... hook the power to it through a relay. Hook the coil of the relay to a switched power source. There's tons right in that corner of the bay, so it'd be really easy. |

I've never actually looked but I have left it for 4 days without running it
and didn't drain my battery, so I'm assuming it does |
