Therefore if the ignition is in the off position and you plug this cool little gadget into a switched 12v power outlet it will not work

I dont recommend leaving the ignition on when disconnecting the vehicles battery

It would most likely kill the little 9volt battery quickly as other lights and sensors will energize when the ignition is on and the whole exercise becomes pointless
