is there any kind of switch that would shut down the battery? because when ever I turn my car off and dont use it for about 4 hours the battery will die, so is there any kind of switch so I wont need to unplug the battery every time im done using the car. Thanks

TacomaXray... c'mon!
You have some kind of problem in your car, why don't you fix it?
Something in your cars electric system is "thirsty" - find out what it is ;-)

Or you can install the switch, you'll find that from the nearest car parts shop... that kind of switches are used in racing cars etc.

To Answer your question, Yes there is a switch you can get to shut the power off to the vehicle.
But, like jussi said above, you have a problem. Why is the battery going dead? do you have something left on?
How old is the battery? If the battery is bad, even disconnecting it from the rest of the vehicle will NOT do any good, it will still go dead.
Good luck,
Tom
