Hi Hi,
I realized that the elmod board don't have an on/off switch. What are the common options for on/off switch? Hoping for something small that can be fitted on the tank.
Thanks.

I just use a miniature on/off toggle switch between the battery and board. You can mount it under a hatch or wherever you like.

That’s what I did. Under the driver’s hatch.

I guess my concern is over the 20A maximum current draw of the board. Which means I need to find a switch big enough to take 20A of current, and small enough to be fitted under the hatch.Tanker1966 wrote: ↑Tue Mar 05, 2024 5:01 pm I just use a miniature on/off toggle switch between the battery and board.

20A, yes, but around 8v.ongbenghui wrote: ↑Wed Mar 06, 2024 2:37 pmI guess my concern is over the 20A maximum current draw of the board.

Basically, every small, cheap switch will work perfectly fine.

Re: on/off switch option for elmod
I was wondering if anyone built a 20Amp MOS switch board with reverse protection. That will allow for smaller switch to be used.
