Hi - I have 400w of solar connected to my AC200max for campervan power. When not using the van I’ve been disconnecting the solar from the Bluetti by pulling the xt-90 connectors apart. I’m wondering if there is a switch that I could wire into the system that would allow me to achieve the same goal of disconnecting the panels from the battery when not in use.
I saw this on Amazon and wondered if it was a viable option Amazon.com
PV Solar disconnect switches are available on amazon. Yes…
Is there a link maybe missing in your post?
That switch can handle 300A, which is way above the 15A the AC200MAX has as a max value for solar…
Not sure it’s a concern, but the switch is only rated for 48V, and the AC200MAX can handle up to 145V. It would probably be ok since it’s overrated for the amps, but might as well look for one with the proper ratings for both.
Thank you for the speedy response. If you have an idea of a specific switch that would fit the bill, please feel free to provide a recommendation or link for purchase. Thanks again.
Did a search on amazon for “150v dc 20a switch” and found a number of switches. I didn’t look very far down, and I know nothing of the brand, but this one might work.
(deleted link since it was not for the switch I wanted).
Here’s description " QTEATAK Inline Cord Switch Waterproof Switch DPST AC/DC 20A-125V,16A-250V,30A-24V,35A-12V, IP66 Red Open Double Hole Waterproof Box Two-Side Entry and Exit Line KCD4"
There is no shortage of switches for this

You can also find a number of toggle switches on ebay with the proper ratings. They have ones with xt90 male/female connections. So you could plug it inline that way.
Super helpful! Thanks for taking the time search for something that would be a better fit.
Toggle with an xt-90 sounds easy peasy. I’ll look into it. Thank you.
Ah, yes… this seems to be a good combo of all the other suggestions. Thanks!
Just installed 4x200W for my AC200Max. Using this as my disconnect switch - working well:
