The charger port in the very back is always on!

Just thought I'd let everyone know this, even though I know it is inconvenient. I installed a rear IPCam today which uses a cigarette lighter/charger port for power in my vehicle today and plugged it into the rear port on the back right. Pleasantly surprised to find that it is always on although the front two are not sadly. Maybe it will help someone else. Now I have to worry about a dead battery if I don't drive it often enough.

thats what the white battery icon on the flap is telling you, that its always hot, same as the one in the armrest console
 
I woke up to a dead battery because I connected a safe driver thingy to it. Funny how I always learn things the hard way.
