Systems Battery Master Shut Off

When the battery is connected, various systems on board continue to consume battery power.  To avoid battery drain between sessions, the battery each time has been disconnected at the terminals.  So, a small upgrade today.  The autoparts store had the following on the shelf:

4 gauge, 32” Switch to Starter Battery Cable (Autocraft prt AC136)

4 gauge, 10” Battery Cable to Post to Terminal (SuperStart SK8410R)
Battery Isolation Switch, 300 Amp, for RV, Marine, and Farm equipment (Dorman part # 85988)
Battery Stud to Post Terminal (3/8” thread)
3/8" Bolt and 2 5/16" washers (to secure bottom of Post to Switch/Starter Cable)

The Isolator Switch (with easy to remove red handle)  now allows for the battery to be completely disconnected between sessions and if any circuit is left on accidentally, then the systems battery is now protected.
