Battery cut-out switch?
OK, my battery I bought in late 2010 has had it as it has become sulphated after only about less than 3000 miles of use...... I was a little complacent and had it hooked up for too long over the winter and "spring" (more like bloody winter this year....). The only reason it was hooked up was that I was lazy and didn't disconnect the battery and have it recharged on trickle charger. I would like to buy a cut-out switch to isolate the battery - does any one of you use one and if so which one are you using?
Cheers.

given that you only need to do it when not using the car for long periods, is a lot off faff for the sake of avoiding popping the bonnet and pulling off the +e terminal
