Is there any advantage to keeping the battery turned off?

Now with mechs, I understand a Kick will drain a battery if left inside.

There are also mods were the unpressed switch disconnects the Kick from the battery. I just can't name one right now.

If not in use and if the battery is connected to some kind of atomizer, I do the 5-click disable just in case it gets pinned against something and the button is continuously held down (say if thrown into a backpack or something). Although most devices have a time limited shut-off period, so it probably wouldn't cause a fire, but it sure would not be the best situation.

If the battery isn't connected to anything, it's probably still good practice to 5-click disable if the battery is loose with other items inside a pack or something. Cause worse than a atomizer burning up, is the battery shorting on a piece of metal... li-ion batts and shorts do not mix very well!

Yes I did. It happens quite a bit, though my jeans aren't as tight as they use to be. I want to know what WarHawk was thinking.

Turning it on and off several times a day may in fact drain your battery more. I can't confirm this because I always leave it on in an ego zipper case to prevent accidental firings. Each time it turns on, it goes through a "diagnostic " (for want of a better word ),which will drain your battery.

There was a post I read sometime ago where this was the case.

There's this:
