Anyone running a 16 - 12 volt 3 post battery? How do you use it in conjuntion with the cut off switch? I am thinking of powering my after market BS3 ECM system and fuel pump with the 16 volt terminal and powering everything else with the 12 volt cable which will be run through the cut off switch. The 12 volt relays will cut off the 16 volts. Will I need a special relay for this? Or will the Radio Shack relays work.

Problem is there are 2 power cables.

I was thinking of powering the 16 volt thru a relay that is powered by the 12 volt. I guess that will work.

Or I could run 2 cut off switches if that would pass tech.

Anyone running the 3 post? TIA

PS I have the booster

I just found this. I wonder if 100 amps is enough for 16 volts.

Taylor 4-Post Battery Disconnect SwitchesEasily shutdown current from the battery.

These Taylor 4-post battery disconnect switches positively shut off all of the current from the batteries in the event of a short or an accident. They feature two additional terminals for other hookups, and meet NHRA safety requirement rule 8:4 for power cutoff switches.
