Default Found battery disconnect

I've been looking for a disconnect to help preserve the battery...
Found the side post kind, finally, at harbor freight (most places have the terminal kind.)

Hope it helps anyone who was looking for one. I've seen the switches too but liked the **** one.

Thx.

If yours separates like the first pic you will have to keep turning the **** to get it to disconnect. If you put a couple zip ties around like the 2nd pic it won't separate anymore and 1/4 turn will disconnect..

I've been using the blade-type battery disconnect switch and been VERY satisfied...




Got mine at (of all places) Amazon.com

I switched from the **** version to this blade setup. AWESOME. I would never install another one of those cheap **** setups. This is quicker to deal with and never has the seperating problem.
