so mine arrived today and looks great, can’t wait to set it up👍🏼
if I want to connect this switch and also illuminate the LED do i have to connect a resistor as you instructed @rwxr… if so what resistor should I use for an 8s lipo setup
Hi @suwuj12 the rated current of your LED will flow when you use a 1.1 kOhm resistor rated for at least 0.5W. I personally would go with a higher resistor value like 3 to 4 kOhm on your 8s setup, because the LED will light up sufficiently at far lower than rated current flowing, you have also less heat losses and this 3 to 4k resistor only needs to be rated for at least 0.1W.
i have everything connected right, the only problem is that my system wont stay ON…it will power off the moment i stop pressing the switch? could you kindly help. thank you in advanced
could the 120A Maxi fuse be the problem?
No, but is your push button momentary? You need a latching one for the vedder switch.
I bought the one u recommended from bangood… Is that one not the right one?
My apologies it was actually another member who referenced those switches…
Yes thanks for that info my button is momentary… Is there anything I can do to make it work, or am I just better off getting the latching switch?
I wasn’t the one who recommended the switch, I think you refer to post #87 from @solidgeek, anyway, no insults intended. I’m sorry anyway that I didn’t check the switch in the link carefully enough.
Edit: Sent him a pm to remove or replace the link.
Better get the latching switch I will paypal you the 3$ if you want me to, since it was my mistake aswell (not checking the link carefully enough). Sorry for the wasted time.
Hi @suwuj12 I am very sorry I recommended you the wrong switch! It is weird however, because I bought one just the same (at least the appereance) from the same website (Banggood) and it works.
Maybe the supplier has changed, or they shipped me a wrong switch… I hope you figure it out, I am sorry you wasted your time and money
It’s alright, just a misunderstanding. Don’t worry about sending the $3… I’ll just go buy one… would u happen to have a link to a latching switch u can recommend?
Thanks for answering all my ?'s & concerns
It’s alright man just a simple misunderstanding… But I u do happen to have a link to a latching switch that u can recommend? I’d greatly appreciate it, thanks in advance
This one will work http://www.ebay.com/itm/16mm-12V-Car-Silver-LED-Power-Push-Button-Metal-ON-OFF-Switch-Latching-Aluminum-/142112215665?hash=item21168c5271:g:8Z0AAOSwFe5X0n5y&vxp=mtr
or this one
General switch requirements:
- latching
- SPDT (1NO1NC)
- watch out for depth and diameter of the switch so it fits into your enclosure
Hey there @goldenHusky are you still selling these. If so, how much is shipping to North Carolina USA 27519
Also will it be able to handle like 2 3s 5000mah (i needed a like 60amp switch but couldn’t find one so I’m hoping that i can replace it with one of these).
Any help would be appreciated

Charles you shouldn’t have much trouble shipping it or using it with your setup !
good luck !
