As a matter of fact, I do throw the breakers on everything but the fios and ip cameras. Seriously lowers the electric bill.
I do have a camera trained on the car as well, but from thousands of miles away, I don't think I would be able to spot a problem until it's too late. Yes, I'm probably being overly paranoid.
Anyway, the portable jumper works fine, and it hasn't affected the performance of the battery; it'll hold enough charge to start the car after it's been sitting for a month, and it'll be five years old in October.
