Here’s one primarily aimed at our North American readers.

With fourteen types to choose from, you should have no trouble finding the right Longacre Battery Disconnect Switch for your kitcar.

By cutting off electrical power to your car, a disconnect switch will dramatically lower the risk of a fire from ignited fuel or a short circuit in the event of an accident.

Longacre rotary turn switches are rated at 175amps continuous/1000-amps surge with a voltage capacity of 6 to 36 volts. Some have an alternator disconnect circuit to prevent damage to the alternator diodes when the battery current is switched off suddenly.

Waterproof versions are available, and you can also get a switch with an aluminium panel for a clean installation.

Summit Racing also carries a Longacre Push-Pull Disconnect Switch rated at 150-amps continuous/1000 amps surge and a key-style switch rated at 350-amps continuous/500 amps surge.
