    When it is called for I hate having to disconnect the 12v battery such a pain in the arse.
    remove carpet, plastic cover, trey, then battery cover. Im thinking of installing some kind of kill/disconnect switch. Has anyone does this or am I the only one that thinks battery access is ridiculous.

    these are also handy when you aren't going to be using the car for awhile, instead of a maintainer

    Gen 3 Prius?

    Pop the hood. take the cover off the fusebox, unplug the fat white wire.
