Trunk mounted battery

When you have a car burn to the ground because of always hot wires, you'd likely change your mindset. Even fused lines won't save what happened to us. The fuel cell is low on the potential danger list.

When I throw the cut off, nothing outside a 2' cube is hot in my car.

There are minimum levels of safety and there are improved levels. Pick your approach. Like I say... pick your parts, pay your money.

I said hot wire, I didn't say hot all the time. If the car's running, the wires are hot, if the switch is off nothing is.
