GM Side Post Battery Disconnect

The Meterk 30248 is a 12 V remote battery disconnect switch built for GM side post batteries and other threaded stud terminals. It targets owners of cars, trucks, RVs, ATVs, boats and motorcycles who want to stop parasitic drain or add a theft deterrent without opening the hood. A preprogrammed key fob provides on and off control from up to 100 feet away. The unit is rated for 200 A continuous and 1000 A cranking current.

Solid State Relay With Copper Terminals

The switch uses a solid state relay with integrated receiver circuitry that the supplier says lasts three to four times longer than a conventional relay. Copper terminals with 3/8 inch diameter holes accept the included 2 AWG connection wire or copper bars for flexible routing in tight spaces. Installation is recommended on the negative battery post but positive side mounting is also supported. Wiring diagrams are provided in the package.

Low Standby Draw And Cold Weather Starting

While connected the remote receiver draws only 0.001 to 0.005 A, a negligible load that preserves battery charge during storage. The 1000 A cranking rating supplies enough power to start most L4, V6 and V8 engines in cold conditions, covering typical requirements of 250 to 770 cold cranking amps. No cooling fans or moving contacts are present, so operation is silent.

Questions about this item

What does the 12V rating mean for the maximum voltage this disconnect switch can handle?

The switch is rated for 12V systems only; it is designed for vehicles and equipment that operate on a 12V electrical architecture.

What terminal size does the Meterk 30248 require on the battery side?

It fits 3/8" diameter stud or hole terminals, matching GM-style side-post batteries and other threaded-stud terminals.

How is the remote receiver wired during installation, and what is the common mistake?

Connect the red wire to constant 12V positive and the black wire to ground; the frequent error is swapping these two power leads for the receiver.
