[QUOTE="hardiholi, post: 667143, member: 33571"] I use relay to OFF battery Dear all, since I drove my car only weekends and battery leaked almost all power during the weekdays and could't start the engine, I firstly disconnected the minus cable from battery every sunday evening. But already a month later got me a 12 V latching relay (together with the matching connector and the required contacts) from RS ([url]http://malaysia.rs-online.com/web/[/url]) to switch off the battery minus pole completely. Later we found the reason for the quick discharging of the battery ... it was a damaged alternator which had some kind of short circuit and it had to be replaced, but the latching relay is still installed in case the car has to be stored for longer periods... then I just switch off the battery. 12V latching battery disconnector (relay) stock no. 6900808 / cost 250 MYR [ATTACH=CONFIG]29226[/ATTACH] 4 way connector has stock no. 7187303 / cost 3.31 MYR [ATTACH=CONFIG]29228[/ATTACH] The connectors I bought 2 pcs (in case I break one) and as they came without the contacts (very stupide) had to oder a strip of 10pcs (set of) contacts stock no. 7174307 / cost 9.80 MYR [ATTACH=CONFIG]29230[/ATTACH] greetz from Hardi PS. the latching relay operates by two pushbuttons (ON and OFF) ... it remains (latches) in the selected position without using then any current from the battery !!
