Default Re: Battery Quick Disconnect - Available - you pay shipping only

Turning this around for a Positive spin.

IMO a battery disconnect switch is a way to generate peace of mind. When the sucker is OFF there's nothing that can catch the car afire from its own electrical system. Sleep well at night - stop worrying about that smouldering short which can not only burn up the car but the garage as well.

The device mentioned here is really junk - though as Kubes has stated they 'used to be' good and well made.

We use a Cole-Hersee battery disconnect switch rated at 250Amps @6v.
There is no power loss caused by the introduction of the switch. Ours is installed in the positive (ground) leg. We used extra heavy duty cables from NAPA.

The switch was about $25.00 and the cables about $40.

Regards

Henry
