Nifty Gizmo for Saving Battery
http://news.com.com/2061-10801_3-609...4329&subj=news
Basically its a little gizmo that disconnects the battery from the car when the voltage drops to 12.1, so you always have enough voltage to start your car. It was developed for older cars where people leave the lights on accidentally, but I think I may install it on my car for a different purpose. I often listen to my stereo when I'm parked somewhere, and with two amps pushing about 500W RMS, I worry that I may drain the battery quickly. This would prevent me from doing that
And for 30 bucks? I think its worth it. I've only had my battery drained once when I was parked by the beach becuase I accidentally left my key in the ignition for a couple of hours 
, and my battery was on its way out around then anyways. I'd love to avoid that experience if I somehow forget again.
