I got one with a switch on it for this reason. The other option is to fit the traditional "cigarette lighter" din type socket and plug a USB adaptor in when you want to use it and unplg it when not in use. Bit of a faff though. I might still fit a relay. I have one I was going to use for the heated grips, but they're the Oxford intelligent ones so they don't really need one.
