RE: [Chrysler300] a simpler fix for battery disconnect

["Bob Jasinski" <rpjasin@xxxxxxxxxxx>]

I also do not tighten the negative cable nut, just bring it down until it
touches.  The post is tapered and easy to push the clamp down tight by hand
with a slight twist to it.  Lift and twist a bit to remove.  No unsightly
adapters, safety with a clean original look. Been doing it that way for
years.

Thanks, Fern! How about that for Keeping it Simple? Was wondering about 
that while reading all the complex suggestions for simply removing the 
cable. I have done so for at least 30 years. I make use of Kopr-Shield 
conductive and anti-corrosive surface compound wiped on both the battery
posts 
and terminal clamps. That way a mere twist of the battery cable end either 
disconnects or connects and you are good to park or go. The material is, 
if I remember, available from Eastwood. I use it on all electrical 
connections as well.

I have never found the need for one of those battery disconnects as with 
it you'll end up with a weird adapter. What I've been doing for years is to 
never quite tighten up the negative clamp and then I can easily twist it ON 
or OFF without use of tools. I always disconnect the negative cable 
whenever I park the car at either a car show or it's storage area. My theory
is 
that it's hard to have an electrical fire if you don't have a dc loop in the

vehicle. Just my 2 cents worth.
