has anyone ever installed a battery disconnect switch? every battery i've had (many) discharges within a week or two if left connected. it's a pain to disconnected from the battery terminal so i am thinking of installing a switch that can be operated without removing anything. going with my philosophy of making every move easily reversible, i am thinking to disconnect the negative wire where it connect to the frame and insert a wire with switch from that original wire to the frame. since there is a 65a main fuse and 30a ignition fuse in parallel , i am thinking a wire and switch rated for at least 95a will be needed. the switch would be accessible to the right of the battery. any comments or suggestions?
