[thomas]

I have a set like this on my GT5:

Have used them since I bought the car 14 years ago. Still works great.

   following up on my "starter clicking" issue - you guys were right: I
   removed
   the battery disconnect switch, and the car started a total of 7 times
   this
   weekend w/o a problem.  Now I will search for a better disconnect
   switch, as
   I like to isolate the battery when not driving the car (mostly Sunday
   night
   - Saturday morning). Thanks for the help!

     Pantera has an Interstate, nothing special battery that is at least
     5

   years old.

     From May thru Oct my car will start everytime, anytime with one or
     two

     weeks between starts no problems and the battery is hooked up all
     the

   time.

     During winter Nov - Apr I disconnect the battery Negative wire and

     hook up a Ctek battery tender($87CDN). I've done this for the last

     three years. No problems.

     Your battery should hold a hooked up charge for two weeks.
