Looking for battery disconnect switch recommendation

I currently have one 12 volt battery, but may add another in the future. So I am looking for a battery disconnect switch that I can mount on the battery box that can handle one to three batteries and maybe even has a locking switch.
Recommendations are much appreciated.

    That looks like a real high quality switch. The one I use on my trailer was new old stock about 35+ years old and is similar to that one but in "red" color. It pays to have a quality isolation switch.

    This is a good one and reasonably priced.

    Those marine switches look a lot better than the cheap one I got off EBAY. I'd go that route if you can find a lockable one that you like.

    Most boat dealers would have one. They should have one the will allow you to select battery one, battery two or both.

    While not the cheapest I've been happy with my Sea Line marine switch, mounted on the battery box.

    Flaming River has several locking disconnects. Some with a key and some that require a padlock. Most auto parts stores will have disconnects also.
