>the Ferrari Enzo has a battery cut-off switch in the frunk so all of the collectors putting it in a warehouse for decades won't kill the batteryprobably the gayest thing i've ever seen unironically
>>28660821should honestly be standard on everythingfuel cutoff toonormies are too retarded for an on/off switch though so they'd accidentally flip it then have to get their car towed
>>28660825yeah maybe it should, but they didnt design it just because they thought it was a nice thing to have for owners, but because they knew 99% of the buyers were just rich guys looking for an investment to stow away. they literally knew that nobody was going to drive the car. beyond cringe
>>28660825>disconnect one battery terminalgg ez
>>28660837The intended use case is to drive it to the track *maybe* a couple times a month. It's for anyone that isn't dailying their hypercar like a psycho that hates having money.>>28660842Now imagine if they had just wired a convenient little switch to one of the cables. gg ez-er
>>28660821Dont worry, this will never affect you.
>>28660847i'd never buy an enzo even if i had the money though
>>28660821stupid as wrenchlet thinks if you just disconnect a battery itll last a decade kek, i hate all you faggots so much its unreal
let's be honest, Ferrari knows their user base.
>>28660843unnecessary redundancy = extra weightthe ferrari enzo is pigfat
>>28660866bro it's a switch
>>28660821so many times i wish that was a standard feature on motorcycles for winter storage. i hate having to bust out the T handles just to plug back in the battery for the rare winter days when its 60+
>>28660825It is on heavy equipment actually. Never understood why cars never got the same treatment, it's very handy to have.
>>28660872For the exact reason I stated. Normies would turn it off and think their car is broken. My background is in IT, I know that the concept of an on/off switch is too much for 90% of people.
>>28660821most supercars come with an accessable battery disconnect and tender plug-in location by defaultif you have enough money to purchase a massively expensive luxury good, you likely are not going to be using it for everyday transportationand desu a ten dollar disconnect and a wire in the trunk SHOULD be standard on everything 100k+
>>28660821I hope anyone that says frunk gets the kneecaps bashed in.
>>28660861hugely beneficial for anything going into long term storage to avoid parasitic draws on the battery which will kill a battery much faster than just a battery sitting isolated so you shut the fuck up retard, quit pretending you understand shit about anything
>>28660881bro a fucking decade kys you faggot wrenchlet
>>28660882literally work as a heavy equipment mechanic little bitch boy sorry I called you out and made you look like a complete fucking idiot talking out of his ass, I really am
>>28660883you've never turned a wrench in your life you wrenchlet faggot
>>28660888t.embarrassed shadetree bitch boy who can barely change his oilWhy do you think literally every piece of heavy equipment has a battery disconnect little buddy? Is it because it serves a purpose or something? Or are you just being mad because you have something jammed up your ass again?
>>28660896...a fucking decade lmao, wrenchlet
>>28660897If you are leaving something in storage for a decade you would just pull the battery fucknuts. You every been punched in your teeth for running your mouth too much? Because boy you sure need it.
>>28660863Posers with fraudulent money
>>28660872Because all car ECUs now have long term fuel trims that are reset whenever you disconnect the battery.So everyone time you'd flip the switch the car would need 10-60 minutes to recalibrate.
>>28660875the first time someone took a screenshot, saved it into a word doc, then emailed the word doc to me the first thought was>holy shit it actually happened to me
>>28660847LMAO. Yeah buddypal, we all know.Like I said, this will never affect you.
>>28660821meanwhile my car needs to remove the intake just to reach the ground terminal.
>>28660821I don't get what the problem is. Even from the start, Ferraris were only just a totem to flaunt wealth and ego.
>>28660954Be happy they didn't take a picture of the computer monitor
>>28660842Dumbass.
>>28660821All exotic car owners do this
>>28660901An entire fucking decade huh you stupid as fuck faggot wrenchlet kek, 1 battery
>>28661079Not all of them. I see lots of Lambos that get daily driven through the winter. I see this guy driving his Enzo around from time to time. He's even rally raced it.
>>28661173Shut up bitch
>>28660875Some Habib posted videos of his "exotics storage" in some vacation town.Was talking shit about "this Ferrari sat here for 6 months and the battery died- we put in a new battery and now it doesnt run right".He also had (my favorite)"We changed the oil in this Ferrari and now its spewing oil all over the floor"
>>28661191where do they sell these batteries that last a decade, is it auto zone ROMFLAMAHAHAHAHA, wrenchlet
>>28661177Almost no one is running it year long. They usually have another house in another state they will go to for part of the year in which they want to disco the battery. I've seen people stash exotic cars in industrial warehouses and all kinds of places once you get rich the money really starts pouring down.
>>28660928Okay that's the case with all the cars in this category
>van has parasitic drain>decide to just have a big diesel jump pack in the cab because it's got a built-in switch, and it's pretty convenient to have around>still not enough to crack it over on really cold mornings>put a third battery behind the driver's seat as a stop gap till I wire up a proper isolator>ended up being really convenient to wire up my subwooferI live like this now
>>28661022>4 pictures of a computer monitor in a .docx file>the pictures are the 128x128 thumbnails somehow >ask for new pictures>not even in focus How do these people make it through life
>>28661223nothing more permanent than a temporary fix
>>28660872Radio memory seems to be stored on ram
>>2866082199% of these cars sitting in the garage will be hooked up to a trickle charger anyway.
>>28660825fpbp
WHOA DUDE A BATTERY ISOLATER? THATS THE GAYEST SHIT EVER!!!how does one even make a thread with this?
Most high end cars have this it's useful if you don't drive your car in winter
>>28660821>the Ferrari Enzo has a battery cut-off switch in the frunkWhere's that in your picture?
>>28661206What kind of shitty batteries do you buy?
>>28660869If it's far from the battery it's not only a switch, thick wire weighs ass.
>>28661422it's the little cap thing in the top left corner
>>28660871Putting it on a trickle charger is better
>>28661573Thanks. I didn't spot that as, because it's a power cut-off, I was expecting something in red with a yellow sticker on itand not a "stealth" approach
>>28660843>Now imagine if they had just wired a convenient little switch to one of the cables.Like this?
>>28661480Why would you put it far from the battery, then? Are you some kind of retard?
>>28661173how much cock do you suck on a weekly basis?
>>28661206from your whore mothers crack house
>>28660954saving pictures to a word doc is not a bad idea if you have multiple pictures or need to explain what the picture is about. but for a single image it is pointless and a waste of time
>>28661698>>28660842Not really convenient.Do you guys know battery posts are made from lead?
>>28661206the lead acid battery in my car is 13 years old already
>>28661736You have no experience with cars, do you?For a lot of vehicles battery weight is a major concern, so it ends up in some location convenient for weight balance but with poor access for the end user.
>>28661774so?
>>28661776bro its a switchit's weight is measured in gramsit's not going to affect the balance of the car in any meaningful wayjust wire it into one of the terminal cables and call it a dayfuck
>>28661783>bro its a switch>it's weight is measured in grams>it's not going to affect the balance of the carHe was referring to the battery, and explaining the switch is sometimes remote from the battery as the battery may be in some place inaccessible without tools. Moving a few kg of battery around will affect the balance (and maybe the packaging) of the carBut then you knew that, and are trying your first troll bait on /o/
>>28661814>the switch is sometimes remote from the battery as the battery may be in some place inaccessible without toolsso add, what, a pound or two of cabling, tops? If weight is that much of a concern (See >>28660866 >>28661480) then take a shit before you drive and you'll cancel it out.
>>28661260>128x128 thumbnailsThat''s 3rd worlders.Their Internet connections are so bad they are forced to post tiny pics.Remember, small files are brown people
>>28661827>Remember, small files are brown peopleThis dogshit site has a 4mb (more like 3.8, but who's counting) hard limit
>>28661826Your trolling is failing badly. Or, you're truly stupid. For your sake I hope it's the former
>>28661837All I'm saying is that adding a cutoff switch is trivial, and even in the absolute worst case scenario will affect the weight distribution of your super mega ultra hyper performance car less than if you decided to eat a big breakfast that morning.
>>28661843You have to appreciate that this little sub-thread, which you appear to have started with this post>Why would you put it far from the battery, then? Are you some kind of retard?was asking why a switch would be a long way from the battery. The weight of cable and the switch was not an issue because, as you point out, it's trivial compared to a battery that can weigh around 20 kg. And moving 20 kg from front to rear, a total shift delta of 40 kg, is significant. And then there's the potential packaging benefits. So to achieve these benefits, the battery may be in a place you can't easily get to and disconnect it - hence the need for a remote switch somewhere accessible.Now, if you didn't start the thread branch, you shouldn't jump in without understanding context.If you did start the branch, then you are, as I said, either a troll or very stupid. If the second, then I hope this blog post explains; if it doesn't you're beyond help.If the former (a troll), then congratulations on getting me to type all this out - you're better at it than I thought
>>28661777Touching toxic things is not really convenient
>>28661698That's just a quick release clamp like on a mountain bike seat post.Do you even wrench?
>>28661989A switch cuts the power flow by physically disconnecting a contactThat's a switch
>>28661984learn what the fuck you're talking about before throwing your retardation into the thread
I use these RadLoc plugs on my race car battery.Disconnect the battery in winter.It's common on EV forklifts.Although they are using 0000 gauge wire and not 4ga like my car.
>>28660821A lot of exotics have this now.
>>28660821I have a cutoff switch in my car, previous owner added it. I don't really see what's so bad about it.
>>28662001>t.lead gobbler
>>28661766it was a single image the lady sent me lol
>>28660825lol imagine snagging a really nice, perfectly working car for 500 bucks because the owner forgot about the disconnect
>>28662149beter that then a cock gobler like yuo
Still arguing over basic battery care i see...Ill check in again tomorrow
