My switch has been the battery plug for many years on the more simple controllers.

If you have two red wires into the controller, then put a switch on the thin one.

Imagine running 24s RC Lipo with a high power controller, the switch would need to weight a pound. I use no switch other than controller start. Unplug the connectors, this can be made easy by practical location.

you can turn the battery on and off at the BMS. it takes a tiny 7 cent DIP switch.

My controller had the ignition wire Dog talks about. A switch and inline blade fuse makes the perfect setup if your controller is wired this way.

If you don't have a plug like that coming off your controller you could save a few bucks and get your own connectors
