Painless disconnect

Hey guys..
Just wondering if anyone is using a painless disconnect like this I am thinking of purchasing one for my 68 Cuda. I'm tired of opening and closing my hood every time I park the car. I'm One of those guys that cuts the negative power I'm fear of elec fire.
Thanks for any advice

Had one on my Chevelle. Toggle switch was placed for easy access but not noticable and gave me just a touch more security when I wasn't around the car....

I used one in my Duster, when I had it.....worked good.

Everyone who races uses one as it is a safety requirement for the track. Ours have to be located on back end but no reason you can't locate it anywhere. They work great and create no issues at all.

Continous duty solenoids are cheap. I will be putting one in my car also.

I used their 30206, latching solenoid with a momentary push button, works good,wired so it kills everything except the feed to the EFI.

I would use the latching relay before I used the the one the OP listed. The first one (30204) requires power to be flowing through the switch at all times, while the latching one (30206) just requires a pulse to turn the power on or off. Just my opinion, though.

I found a solenoid for an RV that uses a momentary pulse to turn the power on, and a momentary pulse with reversed polarity to turn the power off again.

My theory was, I could use a car alarm (Viper, etc.) to turn the switch both on and off using the power door circuit using a fob while arming the alarm at the same time.

Hotronics has a kit (MBD-150 Battery Disconnect Switch, Battery Sw. | Hotronics Products) that used the same solenoid (I think), but I bought it at an RV supply place for significantly cheaper. I bought an Intellitec 01-00055-000.

Based on the 11+ years it took me to get my 17" wheels and 13" homebrewed brake kit installed, I should have it installed in the next 4 or 5 years.
