Customer Reviews
Great quality and price. Arrived earlier than expected. Thanks Battery Mart!
The item was of good quality, I received it promptly, and it was easy to install.
Okay is all I. Can say about this product. Does the job, but a cheaply made product.
I would suggest spending more for a quality item.
Quick delivery, good quality, exactly as described. I modified the ends of the switch to be used with a motorcycle battery that has 6 mm X 1.00 bolts. I modified one for my Trike and another of a buddy's two wheeler. Exactly what we needed and wanted. An easy way to completely remove our Odyssey batteries from any parasitic drain when sitting.
