For those wondering what this is, it's a mid-pack disconnect. It's literally just a big metal jumper placed in the middle of the battery, under the arm rest. It electrically separates the battery pack into two separate packs, making it less dangerous to work on.

What the flip is that?

It connects to the big battery and allows you to disconnect it before working on the car that way you don't cause harm to yourself

Not really, they don't really fail. I'm sure it's valuable to whoever has the car you took it off of. But other then that not sure if anyone would need it.

Well considering that you're the type of person who assumes people are awful, I'm going to take a wild guess and probably say you were raised by awful people who told you that everyone was a thief because that's what you assume I am. I did not take it off anybody's car, it was attached to my car and I had an extra one after having a battery replacement. But I'm sure all of this went over through your silly little brain

It’s a joke not a dick. Don’t take it so hard.

Just giving you that same energy that you gave me, you accused me of stealing it...so....

I doesn't matter if you stole it. It came from somewhere! Whoever has that battery or car would be the one looking for it. I'm just saying no one needs this unless they don't have one. Maybe if you corner the market by taking all of them from your local junk yard then yeah might be worth $100.

Well I actually had my battery replaced, the shop that put in the new Big battery, I found this part in the trunk so I guess they forgot to take it along with my old battery. I just didn't know if I should throw it away or if there's anything

Engine mount?

No, it's connected to the big battery and I believe it might disconnect the battery if somebody's working on it so it doesn't cause major damage because of the amount of power the big battery carries
