i'm liking the idea of a latching relay which doesnt take any current to keep its state.
i'm wanting to use one for a EarthX lithium battery install and prevent parasitic drains from external regulators like i have heard of. a battery to bus disconnect just makes sense also.
i am mindful of lithium battery BMS's and battery disconnects can surge an alternators current if disconnected from whatever even shuts if off. so there's a few alternator protection devices out there for this use. Balmar makes one specifically for the use of lithium batteries. Balmar APM-12
i'm working on making my own master wiring diagram for my ship and systems.
