how did you do your kill switch?

I'm lazy. I have no desire to undo that PITA strap around the battery case every time I park at storage to disconnect the neg lead and then do it up again. Every time. How has everyone implemented their kill switches, or is there an even easier way already I'm not aware of?

cheers

I got mine from camping world. My batteries are in the front storage. I mounted my kill switch in the front side storage. Batteries were on the other side of the metal wall. I drilled two holes to run my cables through. I ran each battery cable through rubber hoses since I was going through a metal wall. And since it’s mounted inside the front side storage; it’s easy access to the switch.

like that! Safe to assume you interrupted the neg lead right?

I built a tiny waterproof box mounted beside the battery box, that houses the shunt/battery monitor and the kill switch for the negative side. Keeps everything out of the elements and a great place to store an extra set of keys for the trailer. I also use this box to house the on/off switch to for my LED skirt lighting...

Why the negative?

Why not the positive?

Does it make a difference?
