    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    I have a quick question. Is it safe/ok to use Ring Lugs on the battery cable ends for both batteries for both negative and positive posts? The Negative Post in the front battery has this type of connection/lug. Picture below. There’s a Post Adapter on it, which I could simply remove. Then cut...

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

Or, I’ll just leave it as is and disconnect the batteries normally. If it the existing clamps wear out again, I’ll replace the cable...

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    @cucvrus I’m terrified of frying anything, as mentioned above in the screen shot I shared! I’m thinking if I use a clamp on both batteries it would be over cautious, but still ok? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    @cucvrus There you are! With that in mind, should I just put one of these clamps on the Ground Post for each battery? Disconnect them when working on the vehicle. Would that be safe? Sent from my iPhone using Tapatalk

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    @cucvrus @Warthog @doghead Would you have any input? Could I just attach one of these to the Ground on each of the two batteries? Disconnecting the Grounds as a way to prevent any damage? https://www.facebook.com/commerce/products/5067872396581604/?ref=saved&referral_code=save_dashboard...

    M1009 Battery Disconnect Switch??

    I’ve noticed my battery lugs are getting worn from connecting and disconnecting them from the batteries for my CUCV M1009. I already replaced them once. Is it ok to use a Battery Disconnect Switch for when I’m working on my vehicle? This would be an effort to prevent wearing out my Battery...
