Anyone seen a Battery Disconnect on the market that alleviates removing the cable?  Kinda lookin for a theft device and to preserve batt when parked for awhile.

They're quite available.  Check NAPA, Pep Boys or a speed shop.  Summit Racing and Jegs probably have them as well.

Been using it for 3 years. Never a problem.

I've been using both types, but I prefer the type that Howard posted for it's intended purpose. The red key style is a great anti theft device, kinda Marine like in nature, as you would switch your boat battery. The ceramic bolt in style with the knob is actually a fire prevention device. When properly installed, in case of impact, the jarring motion would snap it off and prevent any spilled fuel from igniting electrically. Ingenious. aceinthehole2008-03-13 09:44:47
