Quote: Another option that I don't think has been mentioned in this thread is the use of a double pole / 4 terminal cutoff switch like a Longacre 45780 or 45782 (for higher output alternators). It solves the problems of a constantly "hot" alternator wire / solenoid drain.
Decent solution. It is more money than a CD and 180 amp master switch
But with way less stuff that can fail... I'll take the KISS way every time
And if one side of that component fails...
It's two components built into one switch. It's still controlling two circuits. You can still wire around one side in an emergency.
Pick your parts, pay your money.
I understand that its basically 2 switches but from the guys that I know running it they havent had any failures in at least 6 years( and still going).. I had a failure in a constant duty solenoid in a matter of a few weeks on my Rampage.. I replaced it but bought a spare to carry with me
