Battery

[tom4bren]

There is no button to push on the battery buddy. It has a solenoid that disconnects the battery somewhere around 13V terminal voltage. If you push the brake pedal or flash the brights, it reconnects the battery. No wiring required, just connect it in series with the battery's positive cable.

I told ya it was years ago since I had any experience with a battery buddy. Back in the day when cars had wooden wheels ... ya had to pop the hood & push a button.

Tom--- Don't feel bad. I was in the second wave of Covered Wagons behind your main lead caravan with the Lewis & Clark expedition. Yes, my vintage (circa 1994) marine/watercraft "Battery Buddy" on my ski-boat has an actual "button" (circuit breaker) that has to be physically re-set by pushing down on the re-set button. It's kinda' a pain in the neck to remove the engine cowling cover, but the peace of mind is always worth it when you re-try the starter and it fires right up. Plus, I always love the look on my friends faces when they say "Oh Boy, now we're really stranded without a prayer." I just smile and say "Not so fast boys with your judgement, just give me a quick moment and we'll be on our way".

That...and the fact that it's kinda hard to flash the high beams, or tap the brake pedal...on a boat...

Prolly from lack of nicotine more than age...,

May be from too many lightning bolts down my shorts lately.

BTW - I've cut my Baccy use in half lately but haven't quit yet (I'll get there).
