Kill switch okay to use on Lithium Ion battery?

gxg · 02-08-2024, 11:15 AM

Hi Y’all,

My F80 has a faulty cluster that pulls parasitic draw from the battery which results in my car dying overnight. I have ordered a new cluster but they all are sourced from Germany with 4-5 week lead times.

I don’t want to rent a car for that long but need a fix until the part comes in. Has anyone used the device I’ve attached or something similar?

Would there be any reason this wouldn’t be safe to use on the lithium ion battery?

Do you have power nearby where the car is parked? If so, just get a Ctek lithium ion trickle charger and connect to the front terminals under the hood.

Unfortunately no. I park outside and can’t leave the truck/hold open, hence this solution.

You charge from the front, not the rear.
