While we are on the subject of batteries here is a heavy duty battery disconnect switch that folks here may find interesting. I have it installed on the ground terminal of the battery in the 47 Clipper. It is robust enough to carry the current needed in a 6-volt system. Simple and easy to install, and easy to connect and disconnect. The heavy duty ground strap is one that was previously used with a Cole-Herssey switch, which failed.

Thanks for posting this JW. I need to install a disconnect on my Clipper but would prefer that it had a soldered connector for the flat woven strap which is the same one I have. Can you post that part number? I can't quite make it out with my old worn out peepers...

Gator - Can't read it clearly either, sorry. Looks like 728210 or 6. The packaging is long gone. Should be easy enough to find at a NAPA store. These devices are not the light weight type typically seen and used on 12-volt systems. I had the ground strap made at a local alternator-starer shop for the other C-H switch, and sawed off part of the terminal so I could use the cable on the NAPA switch. You should be able to have a custom made cable made at one of these shops that rebuild starters and alternators.

Yes, the disconnect separates the ground cable from the battery terminal as illustrated in the photo. I paid $12.24 plus tax.

Do you remember the ratings on your failed Cole-Hersee? I bought one of theirs I thought would be more than adequate for the 47 but now I wonder.

I can't see any security advantage to this setup, It would seem to be a minor inconvenience to reattach the ends and take the car..........OR, on the other hand, is this being considered as a way to keep battery discharge to a minimum in between garaging and using the car?
