I certainly don't claim to be an expert here so I appreciate the help.

The disconnect is just a two stud switch installed in-line on the positive battery cable. I have heard of what you are talking about but most of that chatter was around race cars and whatever their classification calls for. I do not intend to use the switch as an engine shut off, only a means to kill power when I park or when I need to isolate the battery before working on something.
