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.

20A, yes, but around 8v.
Basically, every small, cheap switch will work perfectly fine.

I was wondering if anyone built a 20Amp MOS switch board with reverse protection. That will allow for smaller switch to be used.
