Questions & Answers

Is this supposed to disconnect 100% of the current in some way? Because yours does not?

Yes. The load leg is completely cut off with this switch. If you're having draw issues or seeing power at one or both switch poles, I'd disconnect both switch legs and check both cables for power. It's possible that you're gaining power back if your vehicle/equipment has multiple features. fed from a different power source than the load/equipment/vehicle

I'd like to connect and disconnect my negative battery cable quickly and easily. Is this a viable solution? Is it true that my alternator is 250 amps?

On a fleet of mixer trucks, I currently have about a half-dozen of these installed as master battery disconnects. We're using three group 31 batteries in them, and while cranking, we're seeing over 1500cca (for a few seconds), and they've performed almost flawlessly. We have only had one failure with our 160 amp alternators so far. It is rated for 250 amps continuous and 2500 amps for 5 seconds, according to the Flaming River website. I've tried a few others and these are the best I've come across so far. I hope this information is useful, and best of luck.

What happens if you let go of the switch once it's in the ON position? Does it remain in that position or does it return to "off"?

Yes, it will remain locked in place. It's also very effective. Sandman

Many Volvo trucks use this exact same part as a master battery shutoff, and it is half the price of the OEM part
5/5

It's a simple choice between buying it from the dealer and saving half the money by purchasing it from Amazon.

Stops the drain on the battery
5/5

On my Volvo 780, it works perfectly as a cutout switch. Reduced the risk of theft and parasite drain on the battery.
