Re: Suggestions on Battery Cut off switch
This is from the Summit Racing website on the American Autowire 500834:
These American Autowire remote master disconnect switches are made of high-quality materials. They have a voltage compatibility of 6 to 36 V and operate off of a push-button disconnect and reconnect switch. Says it is good for 6 volts. |

Re: Suggestions on Battery Cut off switch
I found a Cole-Hersee Boston made one on the dreaded eBay, nice quality switch.

Re: Suggestions on Battery Cut off switch
Mine is on the floor, right behind and centered between the seats. I use a "2nd" battery, much cheaper, hasn't needed a charge in 12 years.

That is a whole other can of worms. I believe the sanctioning bodies say switch the hot (positive terminal). On my '39 I switch the ground (negative) With the ground disconnected you don't have the issue of a spark if you accidentally touch a hot wire to ground. With the hot disconnected you still have the chance of a spark if the positive terminal on the battery some how makes contact to ground. JMO.

Re: Suggestions on Battery Cut off switch
Picked up an old original Cole-Hersee, PO said it was installed but it looks like new, any way to test it before I install it?

Re: Suggestions on Battery Cut off switch
If you forget and leave a solenoid switch latched -on-for a couple of weeks will it drain the battery?

Re: Suggestions on Battery Cut off switch
tinker>>>Just have one battery cable slightly loose. Tight but can be pulled off. Been doing this for over a decade. Still runs, still 6 volt. Granted it's a pain on a 36 with a battery under the cab floor. But very little issue with the later.>>>
IMO, best idea. Terminals & ends are tapered of soft lead. So push down & twist to lock on. Lift up & twist the other way to unlock off. Always done it this way with tapered terminals. Jack E/NJ |

Suggestions on Battery Cut off switch
I went with a Intellitec dual latching relay and a remote door lock. My battery was moved to the rumble seat area and it was a pain to climb into the rumble seat to get to the battery disconnect.
I moved the battery off the floor and mounted it under the hat shelf using a drop down battery box. This is the dual latching relay powered by remote door lock key fob and a backup toggle switch. I had to use two 5 pin relays to reverse the polarity to operate the dual latching relay. I mounted remote battery posts for jumpstarting if needed. Intellitec dual latching relay. Mainly used for marine and campers batteries. Sent from my iPad using Tapatalk |

Re: Suggestions on Battery Cut off switch
I don't know if I completely understand what you have done, but that sure is a clean installation.

Thanks for the reply, I know this setup might be a little more complex than some may want, but for me it’s a convenient solution. In short it’s a battery cut off switch that you can turn off and on with a remote key fob. It works the same as it does on a modern car when you lock and unlock the doors only in this case it is turning the battery on and off. Hope this gives a little more clarity to my earlier post.
