Default Wild 2 Mild Controller

How many members have their Wild 2 Mild Controller installed the "ZERO
drain" way (fuse plugged into the seat heater), or the normal way?
Does it really matter, since we all use a battery tender, when the car is siitting for long periods of time.

Mine was wired the zero drain way from the beginning. I cant comment on the original way but mine sat for over a month without a charger and had a fully charged battery.

Mine uses the seat heater fuse, and I've never needed to use a battery tender in the 10 years I've owned a C6.

I have mine installed the normal way because the seat heater fuse is being shared with my curb alert. I do use a battery tender if I don’t plan on driving my C6 for more than a week.

I'm not sure what the "normal" way is. I simply routed the fuse for the valves to a rocker switch wired under the dash. I've never used a tender and in the three years I've owned the car, I've only driven on the weekends. No battery issues yet.
