Starter battery isolation

[Mike p]

After 2 yrs of owning the van I have just discovered a red button on the ignition barrel which isolates the battery.
Until I can discover the source of the battery drain will killing the battery using this button cause any problems other than having to reset clock ect ?

Alarms/trackers etc. may also stop working. However, this button is specifically intended for leaving the vehicle for extended periods.

Thanks luckily the vehicle is safe so alarm and tracker being disabled is ok

I disable my work van every night to discourage scrotes from nicking it. Never know what time it is though.

Never owned one. Wouldn't last five minutes in my job.
I do have a phone though.
