Re: Battery kill switch
Kill switch installed and working, not much use as the battery is too low, will wait for ECP Easter discount before I pickup the battery. So the wires being so thick did present problems, the cable is a little thicker then the OEM lead, was tough getting 2 of them throw the metal plate and under the...

Re: Battery kill switch
So my logic was that as I will be using negative kill switch ALOT. Hence new battery I buy I'd like one that holds charge for the longest duration, if there nothing much in it then obviously pleased to save the money on non-AGM. Plan is use kill switch and plug in a solar charger via the front cla...

Re: Battery kill switch
Parts still not here for kill switch. ::) Solar charger going back, after previous success, 24 hours later it would not start. Note when i turn car off after a decent run, it shows 12.2v, in less then 60 seconds it drop to 11.8, then steady downwards from there, I assume its safe to say the battery...

Re: Battery kill switch
Silly question as per usual. I got the ODB 2.4 watt solar charger and result the car started 3 days later, would normally be dead. So my dad has a solar charger doing nothing is there any harm in using the 2 together so I'd use his visa the cigarette plug?
FYI - Cables and switch ordered.

Re: Battery kill switch
Correct going with negative kill switch option. Wasn't sure it would work as most solutions talk about kill on the positive but Lez has shown me it can work and a far easier option to install.

Re: Battery kill switch
Lez your a star, just had a quick look under the hood, and it would be very easy to splice into the current negative and stick one of these switches onto the back seat. This looks like the easiest solution and pretty cheap too, think I may give this a whirl. Not to mention seems so easy I won't ev...
