I had your post in mind when I hit a stretch of gravel road this past weekend and the engine didn't shut off. However after our first stop (this was a wildlife refuge, and we were making multiple stops at POI) it did run on battery and continued to do so virtually the whole visit. We drove at about 20-25 miles per hour and the charge was down to two bars when we hit hard pavement again. Of course the highway mileage was terrible for a while as the battery recharged. TANSTAAFL
