Top shelf switch, worth the money!

I install this on a asphalt roller to control the water pump. We had been through probably 10 switches in the past three seasons and all of them stopped working due to rust or the switch fell apart or it just went bad. Since we put this one on it’s been working perfect and I don’t see where it’s going to have any trouble. Definitely worth the money to invest in a nice switch and now we have no troubles.

Pros
  • Installing for control of dual battery system on camper. A great fit for the task.
Cons
  • Prone to malfunctioning

Perfect except for markings (lack of).

I really like the waterproof and simplicity but really wish they would put some markings on it. It only has a quarter turn, but remembering which position is on or off is not obvious. I tried some paint (to mark ON) but the wore off. NOTE: You will likely need to drill some big holes into side of battery box (mine is plastic) to route the pigtail wire thru. I chose to switch the WHITE/Negative wire on my setup.

Pros
  • Looks durable and so far, has been a good addition to my truck
Cons
  • Limited warranty period

Awesome battery shutoff option!

This is my second one purchased. I used these for capacitor shutoff for car stereo systems (so it doesn't drain the car battery when not in use for awhile) and it's the perfect thing for it! Very sturdy construction and gives you more than a few wiring options.

Pros
  • Improved Safety: With the ability to switch between multiple batteries, this switching device enhances safety and reliability, making it a vital tool for emergency backup power
Cons
  • Poorly insulated wiring

High Quality Product

This is a first rate product. You could go buy the cheap readily available junk advance auto rileys. Or you can wait a day or so for something that will still be working when you sell your car in 5-6 years.

Pros
  • Light duty
Cons
  • Difficult to install

Revainrating 5 out of 5

I really like this guy , handles the juice

When I park my car for a week as I use my work truck I just use this to turn off the battery to prevent drain and draw on my stereo battery

Pros
  • Easy to install on my dodge
Cons
  • Limited portability

Very sturdy.: my feedback

These terminals are heavy duty. Not flimsy at all like another set I purchased and had to return. I used solder slugs on the connectors. You don't need a torch, just use a heat gun to melt the solder and then push the wire into the connector.

Pros
  • The Cllena Dual Battery Selector Switch can be used in a wide range of applications, including marine, recreational vehicles, and other vehicles
Cons
  • Prone to damage during transport

Pay attention to the product you're building

Sticker that indicates what position the switch is in was placed incorrectly. Initially made usage a little confusing. Apparently, quality control leaves a little to be desired.

Pros
  • Easy to install and enables me to disconnect my battery during long periods of non use.
Cons
  • Inaccurate voltage readings

Solar Power System Isolation Switch - Works Good for Me

Review of Cllena Battery Disconnect Switch for Marine - I’m building a solar power system for my shed and I needed a high current switch like this to turn off the battery power wired to my inverter. I’ve noticed through YouTube videos that other solar power guys are choosing this switch as well. This disconnect switch seems to be well built with heavy duty bolts for connecting the power cables. It is designed to give the buyer flexibility when installing the switch with removable side panels as

Pros
  • Selector 4 Position. Switches isolated battery banks to all loads or combines battery banks to all loads
Cons
  • Prone to vibration damage

This will last forever

I fix the problem with the wires getting hot, I also charged my cables to a thicker cables, no more problem with the battery not charging, after getting 2 new batteries

Pros
  • Works great on my Jeep. Especially for electric winch cables.
Cons
  • Prone to short circuiting

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Good product. Recommend.

Good quality. Love that when it’s turned "off”, the red knob is removable so someone can’t come along and turn it back on unless you want them too.

Pros
  • Will handle high current loads
Cons
  • Inconsistent switching performance

A must have for dual battery setups for RVs!

Works well, no issues. You will have to figure out where to mount it. The provided screws are very long and protrude into the battery box and the battery if installing on the battery box.

Pros
  • High quality and great for multiple power & ground leads. These work great.
Cons
  • Poor quality construction

Great Battery saver

I thought I was going through way too many lawn mower batteries, but after installing this cut-off switch I realized my battery was draining between mowings. Since installing this switch I haven't had to charge my battery even once. So glad to have found this sturdy switch. Heavy duty and should last a long time, and easy to look at. Good purchase.

Pros
  • Hardest part of install is crimping the new lugs on the cabels.Nice heavy duty terminal
Cons
  • Poor customer service

Failed after a week

This ended up having an internal sort and would not charge the secondary battery unless you pulled on the terminal. Very poor constructed product and the customer service keep wanting to troubleshoot in being something with my wiring and I informed them I could bypass the product and everything works just fails once you connect the smart charger.

Pros
  • Worked great
Cons
  • Not user-friendly

Revainrating 2 out of 5

Works fine until failure due to manufacturing defect.

I used this for about four months. Then I went to turn it and the knob cracked (see arrow in photo). When I disassembled it I found a random piece of metal that likely jammed it (see circle in photo). Unfortunately, my control panel was built around this so I reordered another one. I'm considering disassembling it first to make sure the inside is okay, though I think it's unlikely this one will have that same issue.

Pros
  • Batteries & Accessories
Cons
  • Not suitable for extreme weather conditions

300A rating: my feedback

I had to return this as its amperage rating is listed as 300A. The connecting posts on the little switch can in no way safely handle 300A. The switch felt as though it was very good quality, positive feel when switching, and VERY compact. I just would not rely on this switch to handle 300 amps.

Pros
  • Simple if you know how to cut clean n solder connections n heat shrink for a clean look.
Cons
  • Difficult to source replacement parts

Heavy duty terminals

Awesome terminals, covers up everything great! My only grief was the nuts to tighten the terminal on the battery post, I couldn’t get my 12mm wrench fully on the nut to tighten and almost rounded the negative side. Just use a little caution. They hold great and look awesome!

Pros
  • Fast delivery. Just what i needed
Cons
  • Limited color choices

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Exact OEM Replacement.

Turns battery on and off!. Exact OEM replacement for my 2005 Chaparral 205, which had simply fallen apart. I matched the part from the photo online. Pleasantly surprised that I didn't have to MacGyver a replacement switch to fit.

Pros
  • Quedó perfecto en mi Cherokee XJ 1995
Cons
  • Not enough clarity on installation instructions
