Side note, and way off topic, but is there an easy way to disable the motorized hatch? We were camping and I overloaded the cooler so we just left it in the car......lots of opening and closing of the hatch and after 3 days of that, we got a high battery drain warning when we went to leave and I had to reset the clock. It would be nice if we could just disable it if we're in a similar situation again.
