If you have a ON/OFF kill switch mounted on the back of your hotrod have your wire off your alternator run to one post and the other should be going to the positive post of the battery. when you move the switch to the off position it will be impossible to have a draw. Hope you have a kill switch or else ignore my post. ;)
