Battery in place with vent hose on the right side . . . following , is more details on the installation of the Battery " Cut-Off " , Battery charger that I have been using since Winter 2012 and is direct hook up on the Battery at all time . . . https://tecmate.com/fr/products/optimate6a/


Battery connected with original ground wire to Cut Off , vertically install on right fender and bolted on original location off ground cable on right fender .


Since Cut Off is vertically install , added two small tie wrap to keep both parts of Cut Off together to eliminate spark to the minimum when green handle is screwed or unscrewed .



For the connection of the Optimate 6 to the Battery , the permanent connection was used instead of the alligator clips . Negative side of the connection bolted on the small lug on the original negative battery terminal .


" F1 " terminal in this junction box was used to connect the positive side of the permanent connection .


Fuse on the positive wire of the permanent connection sit on the left side of the junction box .


The first real use of the battery Cut-Off was this Spring in March . It was the first time this new Odyssey Battery was also connected to the car electronics . . . I noticed that the amount spark when I screwed the green handle of the Battery cut-off was almost non existent to the point that I had to go inside of the car to check if power was back on . I am very satisfied with the result of this simple modification . I will also check , once and a while , on the green handle tightness . Will report here if it come loose . . . but I do trust that the low strength Loctite will prevent this .
