Battery disconnect switch I don't drive my car much any more, most of the time when I do go to drive it I need to jump it. I have been trying to find a good disconnect switch where I can shut it off if I don't plan on driving the car for a couple of weeks.
I've tried to search but haven't been able to come up with any part numbers or links.

I've seen quick disconnect terminals at Harbor Freight, so I'm assuming even local Vato Zones would have something similar.
Another suggestion, especially if you keep it in a garage, is to get a Battery Tender. I keep mine on one of those at all times, especially during winter storage. Hasn't failed me yet...

I use the Battery Tender Plus (12V @ 1.25A)...if you are feeling extra fruity, you can get this one:

Worked just fine on my Optima Red Top, and works just as well on my newest Die Hard Platinum 34/78 (huge f'n battery).
