Battery kill switch

[NoGuru]

Has anyone installed a battery kill switch?
I fell like I am in the trunk disconnecting the battery all the time to install this or that, and just wondering if anyone has some way to cut power from the battery other then going in the trunk all the time.

I'll probably do something like this https://www.amazon.com/Ampper-Batte...504&sprefix=battery+kill+,aps,172&sr=8-3&th=1
Just not sure where I should mount it.

I hate disconnecting the battery as I seen a lot of fried frm modules from doing so.

I preffer just disconnecting or removing the fuse on the circuit I'm working on.

Its just my preference.

I could see that, but the fuses are so hard to get to. Maybe I am getting too old.

Flex Fuel issues.
Also will be adding a second lpfp soon.

I ordered a kill switch, I will be mounding it some place near the battery or in the Engine bay.

pull the big 50 amp fuse in the ecu box will kill all power to it.

lpfp just wait till the car goes to sleep and disconnect the connectors, if the car wakes up it will just throw a few shadow codes relating to to fuel pump
and level sensors but you just clear them.

I guess I could do that but I will tell you I hate getting in the fuse panel because of the location.

I'll probably install the switch and see how it works out and post back.

The 50 amp fuse is in the same box as the ecu no need to go to the main fuse box
