Since I no longer have a garage with power to keep my C5Z in, I think the most appropriate thing is to disconnect it while parking for the winter. I just had the realization that the battery side will be against the wall. Other option is to put driver's door up to said wall, climb out like an animal, and just yank the negative cable, but I think I prefer a remote cutoff switch instead. This car is going into a storage unit with no power until our house can be built.
My initial googling rewarded me with a bunch of overseas crap from the usual sites. A little more poking and this is looking more like it:
I'd just need to verify the draw, if any, while left on and off. Otherwise maybe just a race car disconnect with a manual cable is gonna be my huckleberry.

I'm looking at this through a "store my car for the winter" lens rather than "I actually need a master cutoff switch to pass tech" lens, but you're also not wrong.
I'm really liking the idea of that Painless piece. It's a latching relay so no brains to draw any current while the car sits. I just wonder if the current rating will be an issue.
