55.2-59 battery cut off

Like others i believe a cut-off is an essential. Its location is key. Should be in easy reach both while seated in drivers and when door is open. I like the removable "key" type for peace of mine when left unattended even at shows or parked in sketchy areas. Have mine low on left side near floor and cab pocket. Its not visible when door is closed yet handy when needed. I use mine everytime i plan to park for an extended time and i think its saving the battery. Being accessible with the door open is really handy during repairs and turning it off leaves my power steps down where i need them.

I took a little different approach as far as security - but not cutoff per say. The inside cable hood release is from a 72 and you can see the second release on the front. I also have 2 batteries and the auxiliary battery has a solenoid to isolate from the starting battery when the key is off. There is a hidden manual release also.

But the shutoffs do come in handy. A cutoff with my setup would just require it to be under the hood.

Of course they can still be stolen with more effort.
