BattleSwitch is the larger, 10A version of our popular PicoSwitch. BattleSwitch is a relay switch that you toggle via hobby radio control gear. You can use BattleSwitch to quickly and easily control glow plugs, BattleBot weaponry and more. You can activate applications with voltage levels as high as 240VAC without having to know anything about microcontroller logic levels or transistors because the relay offers full electrical isolation from your receiver electronics.

BattleSwitch plugs into a standard hobby radio control receiver as easily as a servo does. You connect the load that you want to toggle using BattleSwitch's wear resistant screw terminals. Depending on the channel you use, you will then be able to control the relay by moving your radio's control stick up or down, left or right, or another method you desire.

BattleSwitch has a status LED on the bottom. The LED will light up when the relay switch is on, and vice versa. It will also tell you if your radio link is too weak by flashing repeatedly.

The relay is a single pole double throw switch. Its typical lifetime is 100,000 switching cycles, depending on how heavy a load you are using.

BattleSwitch does not supply power at the screw terminals.

5/7/2009 justin	battle switch i use them, they work well. I like the no signal fail safe. woo hoo for the battle switches
7/6/2009 ALF	OH YEA previously had problems with the on-ff of the robot to battle away but with this switch and I resolved many problems that can be booted or encerder almost any engine or system, please use the invento
10/19/2009 Ron	Battle Switch I have used the Battle Switch in two RC airplanes with an on-board glow igniter system that I designed. Actually, a fairly simple and straight forward system that uses 1.5V battery to power the engine glow plug when activated by the transmitter. I use an unused channel on the transmiter, the gear up and down channel. The system works great using the Battle Switch.
1/6/2010 Dave	Works great I'm using this to drive the 24V 120 Series SPNO White-Rodgers Solenoid, and it works great. I'm using the solenoid to switch my Magmotor S28-150 on and off, powered by two 12v Battlepacks in series (NiCD 3AH).
