Re: is this a dumb question? battery drainage

One failure mode I know of from my work as a blower motor warranty engineer is the permanent magnets in some motors can be de-magnetized by a large sudden inrush of current, such as occurs when you key on with your fan control on high during cold weather. This de-magnetization degrades performance of the motor and can lead to failure.
