I'll be relocating my battery to the rear hatch area soon and I also want to wire in a quick disconnect switch since I work on the car so much. What type of switch should I use for this purpose? Like what has acceptable ratings for this type of application? Also, can I use the summit relocation kit? I read somewhere about venting and things like this - it's a Delco professional battery with the hydrometer and side mounts. Thanks in advance!

I think the Summit box has a provision for the vents.. yeah, batteries all give off gases... some more than others, but better to be safe than sorry! Summit sells a few kill switches, but you can't beat $15!

I used the moroso box. Mounted it in the luggage area. Pretty unnoticeable.
