Maybe it's changed, but the same thing happened to me years ago, and I was surprised to find that it was the station guys (I think it was in SYR)-- who had permission to power up the aircraft -- who left the battery switch on and delayed us that morning. The station manager showed me the checklist they had and everything. Too, bad they missed the last step.

It turned out the local rampers had figured out they could light up the cabin with the emergency lights. They got a talking to....
