You are right and why I am asking. I've seen it mentioned on here and seen that they sell things because apparently car batteries get depleted.
There are 2 reasons for battery depletion, one of which doesn't apply to the Ready Brake.
Reason 1 is a Brake Buddy, or similar, plugged into the car's electrical system draining the battery. The Ready Brake doesn't do this.
Reason 2 is the fact that some cars require the key to be turned out of the LOCK position to unlock the steering. Of those cars, some activate the ACC and some don't. If your car activates the ACC whenever you unlock the steering, the various drains can drain your battery. The only solutions for this problem are to pull a fuse to prevent the ACC from pulling power, or running a charge line from the MH to the car's battery to keep it charged despite the draw.
Neither of those is related to the brake lights in any way.
