  • Battery disconnect switch - better/best - no key to remove

    I have spent several hours this morning trying to find sources for the good no key remove battery disconnect switches used in your installs. From some of the designs I have been giving or seen I need good switches that would handle 2/0 to 4/0 wiring (not sure the amperage but looking at Multiplus 3000 and 300ah to 400ah of battery's) Im trying to put together a parts list of what I will need. I also need a big inline fuse holder and fuse too - again still trying to figure out the amperage.

    Thanks for any sources of good ones.

    Hi Keith,

    Most of what your are looking for is available from Blue Seas. https://www.bluesea.com They are a reasonable quality, reasonable price supplier to the marine industry. They have the high current switches and fuse blocks.

          X2 on the ease of installing the BEP brand switches. They also seem to have higher amp ratings that made me feel better that the actual fuse itself would be the weakest link in the system and not one of the switches. Off the top of my head I can't recall if posting a website address to a company other than a manufacturer website would violate the forum rules so if interested I can PM you the sites that I have purchased from.

            It's fine, Brian, as long as there's no financial interest on your part (owner, salesman, stock holder, commission by affiliate link, etc) or the site is a direct competitor to our host. If there is an interest on your part in the link, send it to a moderator for consideration with details.

              Good to know, thanks Howard. I know that others have mentioned https://shop.pkys.com in the past but other forums have rules against direct links so I'm hesitant to do so

                I replaced my OEM switch with a direct bolt in replacement from Sierra Marine. It has a key but was very convenient in a direct replacement with far better specifications and a strong detent to prevent inadvertent disconnects.
