Re: Cut of switch
Wayne I use the marine style switches like this one.

They are available in black or red, I've used three, one to disconnect the solar, one for the 12v power feed to the inverter and one is a master which cuts all 12v from the lithium bank.
Depending on the model/brand some allow the knob bit to be removed completely which stops anyone turning things back on accidentally.

Re: Cut of switch
I have a switch wired into the control wire of the gigivacs. Open the circuit and the gigivac is OFF no power out or in.
Others will tell you if I am doing it right or not.
This makes it a low current switch and not a high current one so no spark etc and it is for me a safety switch as well for manual turn of if I want to select only one battery.
I have a 4x4 collision switch wired in as well before any control so in an event of a collision all my 240v is turned off and batteries disconnected.
To reset is just a matter of a lever to set all running again. so not sure if that is warranted but makes me feel more comfortable

Brian
