I have successfully used 12 VDC switches for controller on/off ignition purposes on 58 V systems but that is a control voltage with very little current.
I am now planning to install two DC/DC converters for lights at 7.4 V and for USB accessories at 5V. I want both converters to be switched on the battery side to prevent parasitic drain on the battery. Either of these circuits could see as much as 8 Amps and the switches should be rated accordingly. Where would I find reasonably priced small panel switches rated for 60VDC? Lighted switches would be nice too, but that adds even more complications.
