The battery in my Cobra is in the trunk, right behind the passenger seat. I have a cutoff switch mounted on the bulkhead just behind that seat. The "+" lead between the battery and the switch is very short. I can easily turn the switch off if anything were to go wrong. In addition, I always turn it off when I am not using the car so it acts as an anti-theft device.

I have 2 big circuit breakers on my sailboat, one for the windlass and the other for the inverter. I have never had any problems with either of them.
