Tech Tip- Solenoid Switch vs Remote Battery Switch

Solenoid Switch: An electronic switch with no manual control,
for circuits where a manual battery disconnect is offered
elsewhere in the circuit.
Remote Battery Switch: A solenoid or relay with a manual
control switch allowing for switching if control circuit
is compromised and for service lockout.
