Are you sure the Battery is draining ? or is the battery a dud,that will hold a charge after charging for a few hours only to die overnight.

Perhaps it`s worth investing in a Bro visit to check it out.

I used it on my banger its still attatched to the cage but your welcome to it if you want it

There easy to fit

On the bangers we kill the negative side of the battery rather than the live

If you fit them isolator switches to the earth lead on a road going car it wont make a ****es worth of difference, you would need to fit it to the positive lead.
i got through loads of them switches when i used to race and they only about a fiver Shrek, you can get one from most motor stores.

Yer on a roadgoing car it would run off the alternator if was done on the NEG

youll need to run it on the Live, as we disconnect alternators on the bangers we tend to kill the Earth lead so we know its all dead
