Nowadays, there is a lot of equipment and machine that use battery switches, such as heavy-duty trucks, recreational vehicles, boats, construction equipment, agriculture machinery, etc. Meanwhile, there are a lot of poor-quality battery switches.
The inappropriate connection between the battery and switches
Many end users will buy battery switches from online stores and DIY. DIY is not difficult but some people might install it in the wrong way. For example, use the wrong connecting wiring and didn’t tighten the bolt well. These are the most common problem that leads to the battery not working and are the easiest to handle. This installation problem is not what we are going to talk about here. I am going to share with you more battery switch problems that are normally caused by production.
Use bad material studs and nut
We can buy battery switches from many places like electronic products stores in your nabourhood, supermarket, boat service provider, Amazon, etc. But battery switches are in large demand and easy to source so that many sellers sell products with bad materials. This is one of the reasons why some battery switches go down easily
Mounting with mismatched parts
We all know that the bigger stud and nut are the higher circuit and voltage can flow through them. But sometimes people use the wrong specifications which causes battery switches didn’t work and even brings negative feedback to products. For a big machine, it requires a bigger battery switch with a big stud and bolt(usually M10) while smaller battery switches with smaller studs and bolts.
Use fewer or extra parts
As per the equipment, the same battery disconnect switches might use different quantities of parts such washer, stud, nut, etc. For instance, some big machines use the same products with more bolts mounted and they can work under higher watts and high temperature conditions.
