Ideal location for a battery disconnect switch

My was easy. Just put it next to the battery box on the frame and used tie straps around the frame.... Works great.

Just a comment which I’m sure will start a debate.

You should never leave lead acid batteries without a charge source for more than a week or so at the most. Plate sulfation will result. So if you can keep your rPod connected to ac then do that and let your charger do it’s thing. If you dont have access to ac power and the trailer is stored outdoors then install a solar charger. If you have no source of power where you store your trailer andno solar access then remove the battery(ies) and maintain their charge at home. Either way I just don’t get the benefit of a disconnect. I removed the one that I got with my trailer, which stays connected to ac all the time unless I’m using it.

Ok sure Mike, I can certainly see using it to create a condition to measure true open circuit battery voltage. I think < 200 ma with all loads off is close enough, but fine. I want my charger to see battery voltage during charge with as little series resistance as possible. That’s me.

My main concern here is to be sure no one thinks that leaving their batteries disconnected for any length of time is an ok thing to do. It’s not. And I suspect that is what most people are probably thinking to use battery disconnects for, but I may be wrong about that.

Oh, BTW, I use my battery disconnect to disable the charging loop from convertor when running AC with my 2K genset. I know I can turn of convertor CB, but I'm already at front of trailer where genset is mounted. Know you are a quick start fan, no issues. I do what works for me.
