Well. not according to the subject here
This is not a temporary fix. It really needs a 65V or higher to last. The Perko and other Chinese origin are not going to last at 65Vdc. I was hoping that someone made even an on/off switch that was 125Vdc and could take battery current of 250adc. There already is the main disco breaker in the PDP. Thanks! I think I will just add a second 250A disco. The app is too correct a design that had too much battery in (2) strings for the solar or the 140ADC charger to charge. Bad mistake above latitude 38. It was the year for that was it not? Getting rid of the electric water heater did wonders also. Cheers!

How many Amps you need? You could work up your own relay system using these perhaps: https://www.imopc.com/products/61700000 [5] But actually 2 of the standard 125VDC Inverter 175/250 A discos in an enclosure is actually pretty straightforward and readily available. I'd stick with that- You could use either a Midnite Solar Mini-DC-X2 box https://www.midnitesolar.com/productPhoto.php?product_ID=325&productCatName=Mini%20%20DC%20Disconnect&productCat_ID=8&sortOrder=13&act=p [6] (not cheap) or perhaps Outback Flexware DC switchboxes. The old Trace DC switchbox also held two 125 vdc 175/250 A breakers. Happy New Year!

In the past I did this with (2) 125vdc 250adc disco's in a metal box. Anyone seen one of these?
