Battery Disconnect Switch
 

I was thinking of adding a battery disconnect switch, rather then just constantly removing and replacing the negative battery wire. Any good recommendations for one?

I like this one from Amazon and had it for about 7 years with no issues (made in the USA too) I agree it sucks to keep having to remove the terminal.

Why are you always connecting and disconnecting the battery? I can understand for longer term storage, but anything less why not a battery tender? I have been using a tender for 25 years. Batteries typically last me 5-6 years as expected

Re: Battery Disconnect Switch
 

I will likely get a tender too. Just new to the car, and not too sure how well everything electrical is operating yet.

Only 5-6 years?? Shhhhheeee***ttt! The one in Ami's 69 vert is 14 and counting: cranks like new! (Battery Tender:thumbsup:).

Erik: A quick disconnect switch, safety not withstanding, is practical if the car is in storage where AC power is not available, especially if the storage area is in sub-freezing temperatures (colder temps slows chemical "sulfate" buildup particularly when not being regularly charged).

Winter will be interesting. My garage is large (30x40) and at least in theory heated (oil furnace and ducting everywhere - Oil tank removed due to environmental laws), and it does have electricity. My concern was with a 30 year old car that I was not that familiar with yet, deciding to self immolate due to old/damaged wiring I wasn't aware of. I had been looking at battery tenders, and had just forgotten to order one, what with everything else going on. Thanks for the reminder.

Yeah a 69 with like 4 wires compared the bundles of wires in a 1990. How old are the batteries in the 90 and 91? I know a couple of those batteries of mine were killed by an alternator..
