Because mine doesnt** A: Yes. This switch cuts the load leg completely. If you are having draw issues, or you are showing power at one or both of the switch poles, I would disconnect both legs of the switch and test both cables for any power. If your vehicle/equipment has multiple features, it may be that you are getting power back-fed from the load/equipment/vehicle via a different power source. **Q: I’m looking to easily connect and reconnect my negative battery cable. Will this work? I have a 250 amp alternator** A: I currently am running about 2 dozen of these as master battery disconnects on a fleet of mixer trucks. We are running 3 group 31 batteries through them, while cranking it sees in excess of 1500cca (for a few seconds) and they have performed nearly flawlessly. We use 160 amp alternators and at this point have only had one failure. Flaming River states on their website that it is rated for 250 amps continuous and 2500 amps for 5 seconds. I have tried quite a few others and these are the best ones I have found so far. Hope this helps, Good Luck. **Q: When you turn the switch to the ON position, what happens when you let go? Does it stay in that position, or spring back to “off”?** A: Yes it will stay in lock position. And it works great. Sandman **Q: What are the dimensions of the switch and mount approximately please? LxWxH** A: 8 x 7 x 8 inches ## Frequently Bought Together - Flaming River FR1044 Battery Disconnect/BigSwitch with Lock-Out XL - SELTERM 25pcs 2/0 AWG 3/8" Stud Battery Lugs, Ring Terminals, Heavy Duty Copper Wire Lugs, Battery Cable Ends, 00 Gaug Ring Terminal Connectors, UL Bare Copper Eyelets Electrical Battery Cable Lugs - TKDMR 10pcs 1/0 AWG-3/8 Battery Lugs,Heavy Duty Wire Lugs,Ring Terminals,Battery Cable Ends,0 Guage terminals,Battery Terminal Connectors with 10pcs 3:1 Heat Shrink Tubing --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.pt/products/54900180-fr1044-battery-disconnect-bigswitch-with-lock-out-xl](https://www.desertcart.pt/products/54900180-fr1044-battery-disconnect-bigswitch-with-lock-out-xl) --- *Product available on Desertcart Portugal* *Store origin: PT* *Last updated: 2026-10-13*
