It is true I don't have a large atl.But my battery is a new Optima.I have four fans on two thermostatic swtches. They don't make a lot of noise and about fourty five minutes make the battery real tired.I tried a BatteryBrain. I had every combination go wrong including wrong selector position and at last the internal connections gave up completely.I once, while siiiting in street infront of a friends house, I got involved in a conversation with a local traffic cop.I'm sitting in my car,never heard the fans running.forty five minutes later ready to leave and nothing Battery low and couldn't even jump it Had to remove the batteryBrain to jump got it to relite .The contacts inside the BatteryBrain never reset , under any cercumstancesI abandoned that.No electrcity no electric fuel pumps. If I have a little battery and can get fuel to the carb just a slight role third gear let out he clutch and it will start. I want another Master Switch,probably on the Ground side to cut battery off emergency or not.Ive thought about in the dash ,under dash on the trans tunnel ,rear bulkhead between the seats.Some where that I can reach while belted in not in danger or a hazerd ,conviently located easily identified an accessed by driver or emergency personel.
