An anti-theft battery disconnect apparatus for vehicles (e.g., automobiles, boats, and the like) permits quick and effective de-energization of the vehicle's electrical system. A conductor shaft which is electrically connected to one of the battery cables in the vehicle is normally spring-biased into contact with a clamp on one of the battery terminal posts, thereby maintaining a continuous conductive path between the cable and the battery. Manually operable means are provided for selectively moving the conductor shaft out of contact with the battery clamp, against the spring bias, to interrupt the conductive path and de-energize the electrical system of the vehicle. A lock for preventing an unauthorized individual from reconnecting the cable to the battery and re-energizing the vehicle's electrical system includes a spring biased bolt which is automatically operable upon retraction of the conductor shaft to engage the shaft and maintain it out of contact with the battery clamp.
