In contrast to standard automotive battery disconnect switches, this compact device is optimized for all scooters, motorcycles, or quads. The switch is connected to the vehicle's negative line and on the other side is linked to the battery's negative terminal via a bridging cable. The bridging connection cable allows for flexible placement next to or above the battery. This way, annoying continuous consumers and power drains such as onboard computers, clocks, USB sockets, and electronic turn signal reminders can be disconnected from the battery during longer periods of inactivity to prevent discharge. At the same time, the switch can also provide additional theft protection.
