I've got some really nice battery cutoff switches, with just the two contacts. I heard from a buddy that when you use it, inline with just the negative side of the battery (or pos, etc.) you can blow the diodes in the alternator when you disconnect. But even though he happens to be an engineer, he can't explain to me why. Or the mechanism that causes it to blow.
Can anyone tell me why I can't use these switches, or that this is indeed a real danger? Thanks!!! |
