[DeTomaso] Relay Activated Battery Cut-off switch

[Joseph F. Byrd, Jr.]

I would also be interested in comments about the second part of Rob's question.

For my disconnect switches, I have installed them on the battery ground with the intent to isolated the battery from draining.  However this would allow the alternator to keep the engine running when disconnected.  I have worried that the alternator's voltage regulator could swing without the battery capacitance.

I would THINK if the intent were a energy isolation to kill the car/engine, the switch should be on the positive feed (with the alternator still connected to the battery).

...Could it damage anything if the battery were accidentally isolated while the car is running (i.e. MSD ignition or fuel injection computer)?
