Key Features:

1. On/Off Functionality:

   • The switch allows you to easily disconnect the battery by simply switching it to the Off position, cutting the power supply entirely.
   • The On position restores the connection, powering the system back up.

2. High Current Capacity (275A):

   • This switch is rated to handle up to 275 amps, making it suitable for a wide range of applications, from small vehicles to larger systems that require more power.
   • It can handle both 12V and 48V systems, offering flexibility for different types of vehicles and setups.

3. Side Post Design:

   • The side post design is intended for vehicles or equipment that use a side-post battery, commonly found in certain car models and trucks.
   • It ensures a secure and stable connection, designed to withstand the rigors of vibration and movement in automotive and marine environments.

4. 12V to 48V Compatibility:

   • The switch works across a broad voltage range, from 12V to 48V, making it ideal for various systems, including cars, trucks, RVs, boats, and even certain solar power systems.
   • This wide voltage compatibility makes it a versatile addition to different types of vehicles and power setups.

   • The simple operation minimizes the risk of forgetting to disconnect the battery, which can often lead to draining or corrosion.

7. Prevent Battery Drain & Save Power:

   • By disconnecting the battery when not in use, you prevent parasitic draw (i.e., electrical power being consumed by systems even when the vehicle is off).
   • It’s an essential tool for seasonal storage or long-term non-use, ensuring your vehicle or system remains charged and in good condition.

8. Versatile Application:

   • Perfect for a wide range of vehicles and power equipment, such as:
     • Cars
     • Motorhomes/RVs
     • Boats
     • ATVs/UTVs
     • Trucks
     • Solar and other off-grid power systems
   • Great for use when you’re leaving a vehicle or system unused for extended periods and want to avoid battery drain or corrosion.

Benefits:

• Prevents Battery Drain: Great for long-term storage or to simply prevent your battery from draining when the vehicle or system is idle.
• Protects Against Corrosion: Disconnecting the battery prevents corrosion that can occur when the battery is left connected.
• Prevents Accidental Power Draw: Helps avoid power being drawn by electronics when the vehicle or equipment is off, improving the overall lifespan of the battery.
• Easy Installation: The side post design makes it easier to install, and it can be done without requiring professional help.

Installation Tips:

• Disconnect your vehicle’s battery before installing the switch to avoid any electrical short circuits or damage.
• Once installed, the switch should be mounted near the battery for easy access and operation.
• Ensure the connections are tightly secured to avoid any loose contact, which could lead to power loss or overheating.

Perfect For:

• Car owners who want to prevent battery drain during periods of inactivity, especially if the vehicle isn’t used daily.
• RVs and boats owners who need a reliable way to disconnect the battery when the vehicle is parked for the season.
• Off-grid power systems that need to conserve energy and ensure batteries are only used when necessary.
