my battery disconnect switch for the 6 house batteries does not work.  it is always on no matter what the switch position is.

it is a cole hersee standard disconnect switch though it has no part numbers on it.  

in that style cole hersee makes 2 spst switches.  one is 175a continuous and 1000a peak,  and a 300a continous with 2000a peak

the 300a one does not look like mine.  i happen to have a spare new cole hersee 175a one that i had for the hot rod that i am not using.  it looks identical to the one that is in there now.the 300a one would need some modifications to the mount, but not too much work.  

i called newell, but they didnt know amperage and part numbers.   

if i do some simple calcs of how much current could be drawn it would be from maxing out the inverter.  3000w inverter would draw about 300a continous if maxed out.  only way to max it out s with the headhunter water pump running, the fridge icemaker dumpint ice, all the tv's and subwoofers on and running the microwave.  unlikely scenario.  

i dont think they use the same switches anymore from what they were describing.

have any of you changed the switch out and if so, with what
