Apparently the gate agent thought it needed to be on in order to get lights in the cabin, which is not necessary on the 175. I'm sure the door would not have stopped him but it might have discouraged him from ever going in there to begin with.
I can imagine the next crew would've been really appreciative when they walk in, the GPU had dropped off, and they had 2 flat batteries.

I hope you wrote up the gate agent. That should be a termination-worthy offense.
