One thing I DO do is disconnect the battery after every drive (I have a knob on the battery terminal that I turn that disables the battery).

I know most regulators run batteries around 13-14 volts.

Could my disconnecting the battery directly after use be keeping the voltage high on the battery?

I can't see how it could, IMO most batteries lose that extra charge in an evening anyways, but I was wondering if leaving it hooked up might level the voltage out on the battery?

I've had other cars that slowloy killed batteries off if left to sit for too long, so I just unscrew the knob after driving, tighten it when I go to drive.
