For a remote battery cut-off I would use a Ford solenoid between the positive battery cable and the starter. If you have a clock or radio, you can connect the appropriate wires to the battery side of the solenoid to keep them from having to be re-set.

It's great for working on the car or when you leave the car so you never have to worry about an electrical fire while you are away from it. Just make sure you ask for one that is open unless activated, so you don't kill your battery.r

Five things that you cannot recover in life:

* The Stone after it's thrown
* The Word after it's said
* An Occasion after it's missed
* The Time after it's gone
* A person after they die
