Vx own are good, especially with trade card.

To disconnect without tripping the power sounder ..

Loosen negative terminal but leave connected.
Switch ignition ON then OFF
Disconnect negative terminal within 15 seconds

Sounds hard but is not. Once the terminal is loose it takes very little to walk from the drivers door to the battery and lift the terminal off.

The rule is to try and match your battery to the output of your alternator ie 70 amp battery to a 70 amp output alternator Wink
