I never turn my
inverter off . It is in a place that is easily accessible but it draws almost nothing in search mode so I never give it a thought. So I thought a
remote switch would be redundant. The inverter will shut itself off for various overload or under voltage situations . I have only ever overloaded it once trying to start a 120 volt air
compressor, what this thing won't put out 100+ amps ???!!! LOL
Inverters draw a massive amount of DC
power , make sure you are using appropriate cable size , keep it short , and protect it with a large ANL or class T fuse as close to the
battery as you can .
