Battery tray vs floor board removal

[ronn]

Katy, some of my As have old wiring. just not comfortable leaving them connected and with 4-5 months of non use- dont want to kill the batteries either. I put them in the basement and trickle chg.


bought a 39 buick once and transporter left battery connected. Half way across the country, seat spring hit battery terminals under it- car burnt to the ground......
guess Im over cautious

I put battery disconnects on my vehicles that sit all winter.

I use the removable section, for 8 years

I remove my battery for 'summer storage' as I leave each summer for 3 months.
