Re: I Need a Switch for My Voltage Converter
you can always use a small low amperage switch to the coil on a relay like this

The switch that DB Cooper has suggested should be fine. Although its rated at an AC voltage (easier to break than DC), the fact that its 20A at 125v or 15A at 250v means its able enough to do the job on 36v. Should also add, you need to have a fuse (7.5A or 10A) in the red line from the battery pack positive to the switch. This protects the switch, convertor and wiring in the event of a fault. Hope this helps - if not, I'll try again. |

Re: I Need a Switch for My Voltage Converter
I just remembered my battery meter is already on its own switch! I’ve been wondering what that fuse holder was there for. I still have some apprehension tangling with old parts and wires, but I can tie the key switch wire, with it’s own fuse of course, to the same toggle switch, right?
So I can save a few bucks or get rid of the old toggle switch, which is pretty raggedy. In either case, the battery meter can also serve as a sort of bootleg indicator light. The scary thing is that I’m getting the converter because I’ll be adding a few other accessories. I plan on replacing the old headlight switch - which I’ve already tangle with - with one from a pack of new switches I’ll be getting so they’ll all match. And because the meter switch is kinda raggedy, I was seriously considering swapping out that switch for the 12v headlight switch! If I weren’t so apprehensive about old parts, a would’ve pretty much been a gaurantee! |

If you are planning on also running the battery meter from the new toggle switch for the convertor, there should not be any problem with that. |

0AEA4350-C430-489F-9BE9-6F44DC030D44.jpg I was thinking I’d hook the converter trigger wire and +input to the same terminal as the battery meter. There won’t be any problems with amps the meter and converter are both pulling? Especially since there’re only two terminals on the switch? The more I think about it, the louder the BOOM in my head. |

Re: I Need a Switch for My Voltage Converter
Or, if you already got a converter, try installing a relay.
