That's reasonable. With my ERA I can not access the positive terminal of the battery without removing the front tire and access panel and pulling the battery out of the car. I might be able to fish my arm under the fender well and put my finger on the terminal... maybe... probably not. My positive cable has a knife disconnect switch on the firewall though and I actually prefer a knife switch -- it's really easy to tell when they're open and closed. That's where I attach my Battery Tender. Other than putting a BT on, my big ol' Interstate requires no maintenance whatsoever, but if you did have a battery that required maintenance, that might be a compelling reason in and of itself.
