Looks good but tips are too small

Seems to be what I need. I haven't tested it under load yet, if I do I'll edit it. Not 5 stars because for a 300A current rating you need to use at least 2 #2ga wires or 2/0 wires. The tabs on this switch are not large enough to easily accept connections on #2 or 1/0 or 2/0 wire. This worries me about huge voltage loss and/or side-to-side heating under load.

Pros
  • Circuit breaker
Cons
  • Crumpled

Nothing wrong here: Replacement parts

Okay so I was a bit worried reading some reviews, I've been bench testing this for a while and either got a good one or. and you know. Excellent holds 12v 275 amps draws 1500w. Will trip at 298 amps every time. At 24V it's about 2/3 of that. However, I did not buy for 24V. It doesn't get hotter than the cable itself, around 110f at 298 amps 1500v. Pretty good. I'll try it on constant voltage for at least another week because I won't be installing until then. Also, those who claim that 1500…

Pros
  • Switch
Cons
  • Could have chosen a newer model

Updated 12/08/15 Since my initial check it has kept the find at 24 volts by drawing 100 amps of DC. I downgraded it to two stars because it now only holds 40 amps and works instead of charging 80 amps while going through a 24 volt DC charge. The device felt very hot. I'm pulling this guy out and about to order a 200 amp Blue Sea Systems 187 series surface mount switch. Its specs seem heavier, and here at Amazon it has a 5-star rating with rave reviews. I pay $85 for reliable hardware. This…
