I bought this one. It looks sealed. So far, so good. https://www.amazon.com/Blue-Sea-Systems-Battery-Switch/dp/B00445KFZ2/ref=sr_1_3?crid=2WVBGXE2012XW&keywords=marine+battery+disconnect&qid=1677465748&sprefix=marine+battery+disconnect%2Caps%2C129&sr=8-3

I used the same one as StephenH. Simple and serviceable.

I'd suggest getting an old school battery top post knife switch. Like anything else exposed outside it can get corrosion but since the switch part is open its easy to inspect and maintain. About $13 on Amazon.

You could check Amazon to see if you can find one. Look for a marine one. The problem is that they are outside and exposed to all kinds of conditions. I purchased one like this:
I had it outside for a while, but when I installed the Lithium Iron Phosphate battery, I moved it inside to be close to the battery.

My battery disconnect switch has become so stiff I cannot move it by hand. I want to replace it with a quality switch. Any suggestions?
My nearest RV dealer was out of stock. |
