I chose this remote battery disconnect for use on an older BMW 80RT motorcycle that has a constant low-grade draw that tends to deplete the battery over time. As it's not yet the motorcycle season here, I've set this disconnect up in the garage between the bike battery and a trickle charger to make for easy occasional battery maintenance charging.
The install is fairly easy for anyone familiar with vehicle 12v systems and the small size of the unit makes it pretty versatile. It can be made to fit on the batter terminal itself or on the firewall/mounting point remote from the battery itself. Install doesn't take long at all.
I considered using this on a vehicle but decided that a motorcycle would be a better application given that battery disconnection in my vehicle results in having to reset the clock, etc each time. Given that the 80RT doesn't have such features, it's an ideal application.
The range on the remote isn't bad but as with many wireless remotes, a clear line of sight works best. I was able to aim the remote from a window in the house through the window of the garage and found the connection to work quite well. Using the remote away from a window didn't connect nearly as reliably. That said, the unit didn't have to be out in the open as it was installed on the bike battery in a spot that's not exposed. Walls and concrete seemed to be more of an issue when it came to remote control connectivity.
All-in-all, a great solution for theft and battery-draining deterrence for equipment that doesn't need a constant power source at all times.
