Hi,

I want to find a solution to be able to cut the power directly without disconnect my 4S. So is this switch useable ?

It looks like that will probably work. If you try it, you should vet it by monitoring the heat buildup after some short operations before trying to drive around for a long time on it.

They’ve also got a 100/200A model that should do better with heating.

Nice! Do you plan to use it with the BR switch? Can you order a termination socket with it that allowes you to connect them together?

Yes, this switch with a magnet to stop or start the power

It’s not a good idea, this switch can be use with 5A max, and the BR consume 45A.

If you want to use our penetrator switch to control the switch that @bdevis, that will probably work. I have not studied their documentation, but it looks like there is a place to connect an external switch.

You cannot use our penetrator switch on its own to switch the battery power to the ROV.

My plan was to use the BR switch to activate the powerswitch with.

I think it’s a good solution.

Thanks,

Hi @DavideROV
I did not use the switches, just tested them. Was adviced not to so i put it ack again as original.
Would recomend you to use a solid state rele for this purpose.
