Adding a relay to lower the amperage on a switch?

I have these switches that are rated for 15 amps. The instructions say I can add a relay if I need to connect something that is over 15 amps. Could somebody help me understand what this means and link...

If you are trying to isolate the battery then a Battery Isolation Solenoid is what you would employ vs a relay. Tow Ready 118665 Battery Isolation Solenoid Trailer RV Camper would be an example.


I'm just wanting a master kill switch for my 12v system. I would like to use the switch I already have. Thats why I thought the relay/switch would be the best bet.
