Q10035 - FAQ- Badger switch questions

Aug/14/2007

Does the Badger switch present a current draw to the battery when it is turned off? Would there be an advantage in using the pin and flag system over the slider switch? What size wiring does it come with if one choses not to upgrade tp 16 G.?

Nominal current draw on an "off" badger switch is 21uA, which is comparable in magnitude with the self-discharge rate of the pack (1/2mA-h per day). It can be used in the same way as a mechanical switch, because this draw is so minimal.

The pin-and-flag or slider switch are used to pass a control signal to the solid state element, not to actually pass current. The slider is easy to turn on and off when the switch is mounted on something that's vibrating; the advantage of the pin is that you're holding the only moving part in your hand when the switch is turned on.

Wiring is 16ga (14ga for "custom" wiring lengths) for the heavy stuff, and 22ga, 6" in and out when we set up a badger with universal (JR) type connectors. More

What are the demensions of the Badger Switch? Are they compatible exchange for a standard JR switch?

The Badger switch is 3/4" tall X 1 3/4" long, mounting hole center points are right at about 1 1/2" wide. This makes the badger the same size as a JR SuperSwitch or a Cermark style switch. It was designed to be a drop in replacement for holes already produced for those switches.

Q10234 - INFO- Will the batterys drain down if left connected while sitting using your badger switches like the reliaswitches?

Will the batterys drain down if left connected while sitting using your badger switches like the reliaswitches?

Technically yes, however the rate of discharge is actually lower than a Lithium Ion's self discharge. The Reliaswitch draws much more power in the off position than the Badger.
