500A 12V Master Disconnect
The Battery Doctor 20247-7 is a 500 amp, 12 volt master disconnect switch with an integrated lockout plate. It provides a positive break in the battery circuit for vehicles and equipment. The silver-finished unit is designed for in-line installation on the main power cable.
Lockout Plate Upgrade
This switch adds a lockable plate that secures the disconnect in the off position, a feature absent from basic knife or rotary switches. The upgrade is worth it when maintenance safety procedures require a physical lockout point to prevent accidental reconnection. The 500 amp rating suits heavy-duty starting and charging circuits.
Cable Gauge And Mounting Check
Verify that your existing battery cables match the terminal stud size on the switch before ordering. Confirm there is accessible space along the cable run to mount the switch body and operate the lockout plate. Ensure the 12 volt system voltage matches your vehicle or equipment. California Proposition 65 warnings apply.
