[DeTomaso] Relay Activated Battery Cut-off switch

[Larry - Ohio Time]

Hi Joe,

The disconnect switch on the (+) or (-) cable does the same thing, it
isolates the battery from the car. I am a bit confused by you wanting to
disconnect the battery but yet still keep the car running. What is the
reason you want to do something like this?

With all the electronics in cars, even ours, this is not something you want
to do!

Larry - Cleveland

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)?
