with the wired switch,can I disconnect the battery manually when the ignition switch is turned off?

No u can not turn off manually. U can only reset once it disconnects automatically do to low voltage. There is a model with a remote that might do that
1761158
Yes. It will only keep you from disconnecting if it detects the engine running, which you want because a running engine without battery could overvoltage and cause problems.

I basically did just that when I changed out my battery. I never noticed any issues. Robert

Yes. Applying manual disconnection is only possible when the ignition is off
1761161
Yes. You push and hold the button for a few seconds and it activates the disconnect. If you push and hold it again, it reconnects it.

Its your choice, either to leave the plug in or out. I always unplug mine when I turn off the car. The sensors are durable. And you cannot change the batteries. You have the change the whole sensor.

My 12v is switched with the ignition on my car. It automatically starts on the song it left off on for me.

yes it can be disengaged but turning it off would be a challenge because of where the stop switch is on the engine.

Yes. there is a wire on the unit for allowing the dome light to come on when you open the door. When that was connected to my car it would kill the battery. If you don't use that wire them the unit will only come on when the engine is running. This is how I resolved it.

No, this uses less power than me accidentally leaving my map light on overnight. Most newer cars (especially Japanese makes) will switch the outlet with the ignition.

Yeah mine is hooked up for anytime my ignition is disengaged it turns on. Idk how they wired it but yes!

wired directly to battery. Use an inline fuse from car parts store. I'm using them as turn signals on Yamaha Rhino. was able to use the test buttons as switches by mounting in appropriate sized holes made in the dash. Looks ok and apparently covers the law in my state. Adhesive strobes the appropriate location on front and rear,left and right.

The ignition switch is mounted on one of the base legs. It is battery operated.

Yes ..... this switch is purely mechanical ..... will turn circuit on or off depending how the circuit is wired.

You do not need to disconnect the battery when the battery is full. The system will go to float mode to protect the battery from overcharging.

No switch, I wired a cig adapter into switched power though, so it comes on with my ignition.

When your take your keys out of the ignition... it turns off the ability to draw power from your car battery. You wouldn't have a problem with this.

there's no switch, there is a connection between battery and light that can be un-plugged

No, you don't have to disconnect the battery. At least, I didn't, and haven't had any trouble with it. This is on my 2005 BMW 330xi -e46. Good luck!!!

No, you have to turn it off. You don't need to unplug it from the cigarette lighter to turn it on/off, because it has a main control.

Absolutely. If left plugged in, your battery will be discharged. Here's a tip: Attach a shoestring or a chain along with a clip, to the plug in wire of the seat warmer. Then.....after you plug in the seat warmer to your cig lighter, attach the clip to your ignition key ring. Then...when you shut off your ignition, that clip will remind you to pull the plug from your cig lighter. Capeesh?
