# LAB-003: Truck Battery Disconnect Switch Installation
|
||||
|
||||
**Issue:** [timmy-home#528](https://forge.alexanderwhitestone.com/Timmy_Foundation/timmy-home/issues/528)
|
||||
**Objective:** Eliminate parasitic battery drain via proper disconnect switch installation
|
||||
**Status:** Planning Complete — Ready for Execution
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Problem Statement
|
||||
|
||||
Parasitic battery drain is killing the truck battery when parked. This is critical for operational mobility in a rural location where the truck is essential for:
|
||||
- Supply runs to Newport/Claremont
|
||||
- Emergency egress
|
||||
- Equipment transport
|
||||
|
||||
The battery has likely been damaged from repeated deep discharges and may need replacement.

|
||||
## Pre-Installation Checklist
|
||||
|
||||
### Diagnostic Steps (Do These First)
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Verify parasitic drain with multimeter:**
|
||||
- Set multimeter to DC Amps (10A scale)
|
||||
- Disconnect negative battery terminal
|
||||
- Connect multimeter in series between battery negative and cable
|
||||
- Normal drain: <50mA (0.05A)
|
||||
- Problem drain: >100mA (0.1A)
|
||||
- Record reading: __________ mA
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Identify the culprit (if drain is high):**
|
||||
- While monitoring current, pull fuses one at a time
|
||||
- When current drops, you've found the circuit
|
||||
- Common culprits: aftermarket radio, alarm system, interior lights, OBD-II tracker
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Test battery health:**
|
||||
- With engine off, battery voltage should be ~12.6V
|
||||
- With engine running, alternator should show ~13.7-14.7V
|
||||
- If voltage <12.4V when "fully charged," battery is degraded

## Installation Procedure
|
||||
|
||||
### Tools Required
|
||||
- 10mm wrench (for most battery terminals)
|
||||
- 13mm wrench (if GM side terminals)
|
||||
- Wire brush or terminal cleaner
|
||||
- Shop rags
|
||||
- Optional: zip ties for cable management
|
||||
|
||||
### Step-by-Step Installation
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Safety First**
|
||||
- Park on level ground
|
||||
- Engage parking brake
|
||||
- Remove keys from ignition
|
||||
- Wear safety glasses
|
||||
|
||||
2. **Disconnect Battery**
|
||||
- **CRITICAL:** Disconnect NEGATIVE (-) terminal FIRST
|
||||
- This prevents short circuits if wrench touches frame
|
||||
- Loosen 10mm nut, wiggle terminal off post
|
||||
- Tuck cable away so it can't touch battery post
|
||||
|
||||
3. **Clean Terminals**
|
||||
- Use terminal brush to clean inside of cable clamp
|
||||
- Clean battery post until shiny
|
||||
- Apply thin layer of dielectric grease to post
|
||||
|
||||
4. **Install Disconnect Switch**
|
||||
|
||||
**For Top Post Batteries:**
|
||||
- Remove battery cable end from switch (if pre-attached)
|
||||
- Slide switch onto battery negative post
|
||||
- Re-attach cable to other side of switch
|
||||
- Tighten securely (don't overtighten — battery posts strip easily)
|
||||
|
||||
**For Side Terminal (GM) Batteries:**
|
||||
- May need terminal shim/post riser for clearance
|
||||
- Install shim on negative side terminal
|
||||
- Mount switch to shim
|
||||
- Connect cable to switch
|
||||
|
||||
**For Cable-End Style:**
|
||||
- Cut existing negative cable near battery (leave enough slack)
|
||||
- Strip 1/2" of insulation from both ends
|
||||
- Install in quick-disconnect connector
|
||||
- Crimp or bolt securely per manufacturer instructions
|
||||
|
||||
5. **Test Installation**
|
||||
- Switch should rotate/turn smoothly
|
||||
- No binding or interference with battery hold-down
|
||||
- Cable has enough slack for switch operation
|
||||
- Switch in "ON" position: truck electronics work
|
||||
- Switch in "OFF" position: no power to truck
|
||||
|
||||
6. **Reconnect and Verify**
|
||||
- Switch to ON position
|
||||
- Attempt to start truck — should start normally
|
||||
- Check all electronics function
|
||||
- Switch to OFF position
|
||||
- Verify no interior lights, radio, etc.
|
||||

## Testing Protocol
|
||||
|
||||
### Immediate Test (Same Day)
|
||||
- [ ] Start truck with switch ON — engine starts normally
|
||||
- [ ] Turn switch OFF while running — engine dies (expected)
|
||||
- [ ] Switch OFF, wait 30 seconds, attempt start — no response (expected)
|
||||
- [ ] Switch ON, attempt start — starts normally
|
||||
|
||||
### Overnight Test (Critical)
|
||||
- [ ] Park truck with switch in OFF position
|
||||
- [ ] Note battery voltage: __________ V
|
||||
- [ ] Wait 24 hours
|
||||
- [ ] Next day, switch ON, attempt start
|
||||
- [ ] Record result: □ Started normally □ Slow crank □ No start
|
||||
- [ ] If started, check voltage: __________ V
|
||||
|
||||
### 48-Hour Test (If Battery Healthy)
|
||||
- [ ] Repeat overnight test with 48-hour duration
|
||||
- [ ] If truck starts normally, installation is successful
|
||||
- [ ] If truck fails to start, battery replacement needed
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## If Battery Needs Replacement
|
||||
|
||||
### Symptoms of Bad Battery
|
||||
- Voltage <12.4V after "charging" overnight
|
||||
- Slow cranking even with switch disconnected
|
||||
- Battery case bulging or terminals corroded
|
||||
- Battery >4 years old
|
||||
|
||||
### Replacement Battery Shopping

||||
|
||||
**Common Truck Batteries (Group Size):**
|
||||
- Measure existing battery or check current battery label
|
||||
- Common truck sizes: Group 24F, 27F, 31, 65, 78
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommended:**
|
||||
- **DieHard Platinum AGM** (Advance Auto) — $200-250
|
||||
- Best cold cranking amps (CCA) for NH winters
|
||||
- AGM handles deep discharges better
|
||||

## Troubleshooting
|
||||
|
||||
| Problem | Cause | Solution |
|
||||
|---------|-------|----------|
|
||||
| Switch won't tighten on post | Wrong terminal type | Get side-terminal adapter or different switch style |
|
||||
| Switch hits battery hold-down | Clearance issue | Add terminal shim to raise switch, or relocate hold-down |
|
||||
| Cable too short | Switch adds height | Get battery cable extension or longer replacement cable |
|
||||
| Still drains with switch OFF | Switch installed on wrong terminal | Move to NEGATIVE terminal only |
|
||||
| Switch gets hot | Loose connection | Tighten terminal nuts; check for corrosion |
|
||||
| Truck won't start even with switch ON | Battery too dead | Jump start, then evaluate if battery needs replacement |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Cold Weather Considerations (NH)
|
||||
|
||||
- Batteries lose ~50% capacity at 0°F
|
||||
- Disconnect switch prevents drain but doesn't prevent cold damage
|
||||
- If storing truck long-term:
|
||||
- Switch to OFF
|
||||
- Consider battery maintainer (trickle charger)
|
||||
- Or remove battery and store in heated space
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Summary
|
||||
|
||||
This installation is straightforward and should take 30-60 minutes including store run. The key steps:
|
||||
|
||||
1. **Diagnose first** — verify parasitic drain, check battery health
|
||||
2. **Buy the right switch** — match your battery terminal type (top vs side)
|
||||
3. **Install on NEGATIVE terminal only** — this is critical for safety
|
||||
4. **Test thoroughly** — overnight test proves the fix worked
|
||||
5. **Document** — photos and receipts to close the issue
|
||||
|
||||
**Estimated total time:** 2-3 hours (including store run)
|
||||
**Estimated cost:** $15-30 (switch only) or $100-300 (if battery replacement needed)

## New Findings Status
|
||||
|
||||
### 1. Wolf Pack Runtime (#495)
|
||||
- **Status:** OPEN — tracked separately in #495
|
||||
- **Detail:** Six active processes (wolf-1 through wolf-6) under `/tmp/wolf-pack/`. Not reflected in systemd or fleet health dashboards.
|
||||
|
||||
### 2. Extreme Issue Velocity (#496)
|
||||
- **Status:** OPEN — tracked separately in #496
|
||||
- **Detail:** ~198 new issues in 24 hours. Creation:closure ratio remains unsustainable.
|
||||
|
||||
### 3. Persistent Contamination
|
||||
- **Status:** RESOLVED as part of #487 closure
|
||||
- **Detail:** Ezra/Bezalel systemd cross-contamination was the root cause; fixed when #487 closed.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Action Items Remaining
|
||||
|
||||
1. **#491** — Reconcile or close 3 blocked hermes-agent PRs (needs owner)
|
||||
2. **#492** — Formalize ghost wizard decommissioning (qin, claw, alembic, bilbo) (needs owner)
|
||||
3. **#493** — Complete missing Gitea credential injection for 4 wizard profiles (needs owner)
|
||||
4. **#495** — Audit and track wolf pack runtime (assigned: allegro)
|
||||
5. **#496** — Investigate 24h issue creation spike and implement triage cap (assigned: allegro)
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Meta-Finding: Audit Follow-Through
|
||||
|
||||
The previous audit (#494) sat unactioned for a full cycle. Since then, allegro
|
||||
picked up the critical/high items and closed them. The remaining medium-priority
|
||||
items and new findings still need owners.
|
||||
|
||||
**Recommendation:** Close #500 once this report is committed; remaining work is
|
||||
tracked in child issues #491, #492, #493, #495, #496.
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
*Sovereignty and service always.*
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
**Audit Cycle Closure:** This report, together with the completed findings documented in child issues #487–#490 (closed) and the ongoing work tracked in #491–#493, satisfies the acceptance criteria for the original Fleet & System Cross-Audit (#494). Issue #494 is hereby considered formally closed by resolution.

=== LAB-003 Installation Checklist ===
|
||||
|
||||
BEFORE YOU GO:
|
||||
□ Determine battery terminal type (top post vs side terminal)
|
||||
□ Measure battery group size (look for label like "Group 24F")
|
||||
□ Check if you have 10mm and 13mm wrenches
|
||||
□ Verify multimeter has DC Volts and DC Amps capability
|
||||
|
||||
AT THE STORE:
|
||||
□ Purchase battery disconnect switch (match your terminal type)
|
||||
□ Purchase dielectric grease
|
||||
□ Purchase terminal cleaner brush (if you don't have one)
|
||||
□ Get receipt for documentation
|
||||
|
||||
INSTALLATION:
|
||||
□ Park on level ground, engage parking brake
|
||||
□ Disconnect NEGATIVE (-) terminal first
|
||||
□ Clean terminals with wire brush
|
||||
□ Apply dielectric grease
|
||||
□ Install switch on NEGATIVE terminal
|
||||
□ Reconnect and test operation
|
||||
|
||||
TESTING:
|
||||
□ Switch ON: truck starts normally
|
||||
□ Switch OFF: no power to truck
|
||||
□ Overnight test: switch OFF, verify start next day
|
||||
□ Document with photos
|
||||
□ Upload photos to issue #528
|
||||
|
||||
TROUBLESHOOTING:
|
||||
□ If switch doesn't fit: wrong terminal type - exchange at store
|
||||
□ If still drains overnight: battery needs replacement
|
||||
□ If slow crank with new switch: battery degraded - replace
