RE: Green Knob battery savers

I've had these switches on my GTV, Triumph TR4, and late-departed 1800ES Volvo.  They are great because you are more likely to disconnect the battery prior to doing any work on the car.  I've had no problems whatsoever with current draw.

	Sounds like a good idea, but I was wondering if the size of the screw
	(conductor) is too small, it overheats or corrodes, or some other reason
	they wouldn't be a good thing..
