/I have been monitoring the discussion about the master switch.
/My thought is that if the battery is to be mounted aft of the
/firewall but close to the panel why not use a mechanical switch
/for the master function. I think the switch could be within
/6 to 12" form the battery. I worry about this distance.
/I think the high amperage battery isolation switches are available.
/What about this idea?
This can be done. Speed shops stock the mandatory battery
switch for most auto racing venues. The biggest concern
I have for the independent, manual switch is that it becomes
possible to run the alternator without a battery on line.
Some alternator/regulator combinations are very unstable
without the stabilizing effects of a battery . . . even a tired
one.
The battery master wired to come on and off WITH the alternator
field negates this concern.
