Sorry if this has been discussed before, I could not find info I need using search. Anyways, I have a 1987 HJ 60 Canadian model that I only drive during the spring to fall and even then I may go weeks without driving it. I have a Solar in equalizing mode but even then I find my batteries may die after a few weeks of not driving it. Until I can get my electronics to where they should be (an electronic engineer I am not), I want to be able to switch/disconnect power from the batteries without having to pop the hood and remove the cables from the battery posts.
This must be pretty simple, but I need expert help. My "battery switch" would be a marine grade switch mounted under the dash. What I need to know is: What gauge of wire do I need to go from battery to interior dash (about 4 feet) and how to I hook up the wires to the batteries.
I guess I would also need a remote to the Solar system to switch it off before I switched the batteries off? I have Greg's excellent write up on this.
Thanks
Bob
