Another Electrical ?? on PD 4045

There is the option of inserting a battery disconnect on this converter. One would remove a "jumper" and wire a battery disconnect.

What would be the advantage of doing this? Why would one want to disconnect the battery from the converter?

Could I use a 50amp re-settable circuit breaker in this position? This would afford circuit protection and a way of disconnecting the battery.

  • An owner may wish to disconnect the battery from the electrical circuits for storage. The parasitic draws wouldn't drain the battery if disconnected. This assumes that the battery is connected in parallel with the converter's output wiring to the distribution panel.
