Remote Batt. Disconnect
Anybody tried one of these yet?
Can't seem to find any posts but that doesn't mean there aren't any out here someplace. I would like to see them be built stronger like in the USA for example, and at first the thing was giving me trouble and I was about to remove it, but that's when I discovered I hadn't fully tightened the screws down yet. ![]() So far so good after a few months. ![]() |

Re: Remote Batt. Disconnect
That looks like a lot of wires, and a lot of stuff connected to other stuff. Many connections, many bolts. I'm curious. What does all that stuff accomplish?

![]() Oh it gets even better! ![]() I don't remember what half that stuff does after 30 years of ownership and I suppose I could have come up with a fuse block at some point, but everything works great so if it ain't broke I ain't fixin' it! ![]() |

Re: Remote Batt. Disconnect
Maybe something like this. Zoom in for a better look.

Re: Remote Batt. Disconnect
Remote battery disconnect issue while having a local nightmare and unwilling to fix it. Ok, you're fine.

Re: Remote Batt. Disconnect
There's nothing to fix, everything on that truck works just fine, and if the dang remote disconnect unit quits, all I have to do is remove the negative ground cable clamp from that unit and plug it back directly onto the negative battery post.
A simple one or two minute job tops. ![]() ...more like less than 30 seconds, I have the tool boxes bolted in right there under the hood beside it. ![]() Last edited by BRL; 08-05-2024 at 07:38 AM. |

Re: Remote Batt. Disconnect
I have one right now to install in my truck ,, it has a clicker to go on my key chain and I want it because I unhook the battery at home or out some where almost each time I drive the truck when I am aways in distance ,, I figure it is another thing to have along with my locking doors to make it a bit harder to theft . I am going to add longer wires and mount it on the side wall next to the battery .. I like it ..

Re: Remote Batt. Disconnect
Yea it just amazes me that the thing has held up as well as it has already, I'm used to believing that a car battery disconnect switch should be seriously built like a massive breaker switch in a power substation or something, but only time will tell if it will hold up or not.
I do like the concept though. ![]() |

Re: Remote Batt. Disconnect
That bus bar distribution block sure accommodates lots of wires, and a lot of stuff connected to other stuff. Many connections, many screws. Gee Willikers!
