Hi all,
Basically what's happening at the moment is that I have a car with some battery drain. It destroys batteries, to the point where they won't create a circuit when you put them on a charger (maybe my charger isn't powerful enough or something).
Anyway, I was wondering if anybody has put a relay or similar in that completely cuts the battery automatically when the car is shut off, and to connect the battery you have to push a button on the dash. I want this to be automatic so that it can't be forgotten to be turned off by whoever is driving.
I've been trying to find some kind of diagram for the last couple of days, but I'm not good with circuitry so I don't know what the setup is called. The car is carbied so there's no computer to be harmed. I'd find the leak with my multimeter, but I have to find a new 10 mA fuse, and I'd rather just do this to prevent any problems down the track.
