DUH, I never really though of that, disconnect switch may be the way to go. Its not as bad in the summer, winter is much worse.

That is why I get so much life out of my batteries. Now, I do have a few cars that I don't have any battery in because I just gave up buying one for a car I don't know when I am going to drive again. I have one car that has not been out since the 1999 POCI convention.

What is the Group/size for a '66 A-body? A friend gave me the battery that's in mine and it works well, but I had to put something under it to make it work with the bracket.

The catalog is showing 24 for V8 and 22F for 6 cylinder.

Interstate's warranty isn't as good these days as it was 10 years ago... the truth is it's due to the distributor we have here. Others might be better, but the one here has the whole state of Delaware tied up and in his pockets.

One thing I must add to disconnecting the battery. Be certain the car you are disconnecting the battery on does not have electronic door handles or you could have a real problem getting in.

Case in point, my Dodge Magnum has an electronic handle on the rear gate. Well, guess where the battery is on that car?

A battery disconnect switch and a trickle charger when battery sits for a long time will make any battery last a long long time. I buy cheap walmart batteries 49.99 and have lasted many years this way. Lets face it most early engines do not require much in the way of CCA unless you live in Alaska. I have not put a tickle charger on Trans Am battery, just a jump pack to start with no problem. The camping van sits outside and needs a trickle charger or it will kill batteries quick.
