Battery cut off will this be okay

[-Dan-]

Hi guys having a clear out and I have found a battery isolator switch but not sure if it will be of any use for my phase 2 172 cup as I'm not sure if this is designed for 24v cranes, same principle at the end of the day, just doesn't have the spades at the bottom for the alternator surge etc just 2 nuts for the battery wires?

This what I've got

thanks Dan

Yes that'll be fine.

Won't isolate the alternator though.

 

[Jamie86]

Or a resister?

Ahh brilliant thanks

would it be possible to wire this into the negative side of the battery? or would you all still run through the live

Im not that fussed about alternator as the main use for the will be to keep the car secure and battery charged while up the garage

 

[Cupman29]

For that purpose you'd be as well just disconnecting the battery. Should take all of 15 seconds to do.

it will also be used in the event of an accident on a track for use by marshals

Then it goes back to my and Jamie's point that it won't cut the alternator or have a resistor.

Yep, just dont turn it off when the engines running.

You can buy a proper one for about a tenner from JJC.
