[W126 Coupe] Battery disconnect

[Josh Allen]

Or a Battery Tender from http://www.batterytender.com/

I've been using one on my motorcycle for 2 years now, with no issues at 
all.  Just make sure  you buy one that has an intelligent battery 
monitor, rather than one of the $8 wonders from Harbor Freight.  I've 
heard of more than one instance of a basic low amperage charger boiling 
a battery over time, if they don't have the smarts to shut off or go to 
float charging mode.
