Yes the accessories cut out during cranking, but all come back an instant later, against a battery that has just done its hardest work. Do you have an o'scope and camera? I would love to see a trace of that battery with and without accessories. There have been a lot of complaints about premature battery replacement here; I turn on my headlights, seat heater, radio etc. after the system stablizes (maybe 10 sec), this while oil gets to my turbo. It just seems like it would be gentler on the battery/electrical system. (Not to mention the CPU which has god knows what primitive current/voltage regulation/protection...)

BTW I would love to hear your EE retort to the college ME taunt you mentioned earlier :)
